Reviews

„The second part of Gawain Jones’s fun-looking 1 e4 repertoire […] continues his excellent and deep work. Club players would be advised to stick to the clearly explained key ideas, the main lines and study the various illustrative games; more advanced readers will also want to tuck into the theory, of which there is plenty at times.“
