The Book shows just a touch of shelving wear to the lower extremtiies; a slight crimp to the head of the backstrip; the text pages have tanned somewhat, due to aging; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of any creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. A handsome copy, structurally sound and tighly bound, showing only mild wear and unobtrusive cosmetic flaws. The DJ shows a touch of wear to the lower front corner tip and the very mildest rubbing to the panels; the price has been clipped; mylar-protected. Not far from "As New". NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.8 x 5.75 x 0.65 inches). 113 pages. Numerous Diagrams. Language: English. Weight: 10 ounces. Contemporary Chess Openings Series. Hardback with DJ. The final volume in the author's four volume study on the English Opening, with this one covering various defences to 1 P-QB4 not examined in the earlier volumes. This is an authoritative series: John Watson's systematic coverage of all variations of the English Opening. John Watson was an U.S. International Master. This classic work on the English Opening is still the only comprehensive treatment of this dependable opening, one which has always had a large following among the world's best players. Some of the finest games of modern chess, both positional and tactical, have begun with 1 P-QB4. By virtue of its extraordinary flexibility, the English can lead to unique and original positions at an early stage of the game. Volume 1 covers all lines after 1 P-QB4 P-K4, Black's most popular reply to the English Opening. It often leads to sharp, tactical play with attacking chances for both sides. The book is logically organised and unlike some works on this opening includes transpositional possibilities at all stages by cross-reference to other lines. Watson's aim throughout has been to provide a practical balance of theory, discussion and examples. With encyclopaedic coverage and many original suggestions, this series gives the reader the ability to understand the complexities of the English Opening and to play it with confidence Watson is widely known as a player, author, and chess trainer. His books have won numerous awards including Book-of-the-Year awards for "Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy" and "Chess Strategy in Action".
