Title: Con Book of the Year
Product review: This book would surely get first prize for the con book of the year. I'm sure the publishers and authors are sharing a big laugh at the readers' expense. Imagine an opening repertoire for the positional player that suggests 1.e4! Virtually all the defenses selected(like the Scotch Game, Sicilian, King's Indian, etc) would make a tactician's delight. And the authors' claim that they could be played in a quieter fashion doesn't obtain, for in most of the lines suggested your opponent could steer the game to fierce tactical battles! To boot, the book is also dishonest : in the chapter on the Sicilian for black, after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 the authors say, "well, white can play other lines than 2.Nf3, but to learn those you will have to buy our other book." In a nutshell, this book should be entitled "An Incomplete Repertoire for the Positional Player Who Does Not Want to Play Positionally!"
