No time to study chess opening theory? Secrets of Opening Surprises (SOS) consists of highly playable, unusual opening ideas. Because an SOS is such an early deviation from the regular lines in mainstream openings (usually before move six), the probability of you being able to bring the variation actually on the board is very high. If you are tired of main lines, if you are looking for simple but effective weapons to perplex your opponent, then you will feel very much at home in the world of SOS.

Secrets of Opening Surprises - Volume 5

The popularity of chess is no accident, as learning chess means improving basic skills (analysis, decision making, strategic thinking, stamina, and dealing with stress) while interacting meaningfully with other pupils. But how do you teach chess, what material do you use, is there a particularly successful method, how do you sell a chess curriculum, how do you motivate your pupils and monitor their progress? This compendium is for chess training at all levels, raises topics for discussion, and gets chess teachers at local schools to learn from top coaches, as well as the other way around. With ready-to-use teaching exercises.

SOS allows amateurs to play the opening like a pro without spending nearly all their free time studying stuffy theory. Readers of this series can ignore large areas of the ever expanding chess opening theory, because they can concentrate on these very early deviations (usually before move six!) from the regular lines in main stream openings. Ideal for club players with a basic knowledge of openings, who have not enough time to keep up with the latest fashions. A refreshing change, is what GM Nigel Short wrote about SOS in The Daily Telegraph.
