There is a worldwide problem that is creating all sorts of difficulties. We have extended our shipping window to 20 days to give us time to solve these problems. Like the rest of the world we are hoping to get back to normal soon.

The fight to find a simple way to play the opening is a never-ending struggle for the weekend amateur. Even grandmasters get grey hair trying to think of something new to play; much as professional players play to win, they, too, reach a point where they just can take the same old thing any more

The author, Charlie Storey, is a FIDE master who focuses not on an opening, but on a strategic plan for Black: an early ...g6 and ...Bg7, with an immediate ...c5.  It cuts across a lot of opening theory by concentrating on a single idea. It is interesting.

We will include bonus material!
