Subtitled: 535 Refutations, Re-Evaluations, Novelties, Improvements, and Corrections To The Encyclopedia of Chess Openings.

Take a look at the diagram on the left. The Encyclopedia of Chess Openings analyzes 1...Qxg1+ 2.Kd2 Qg5+ 3.BxgS Rxg5 4.Ke1 Rd8 as unclear. Oops! Black can clear things up in a hurry with 1...Rg5!, and now either 2.BxgS Qxg1+ and 3...Qxg5, or 2.0-0-0 Rc5+ 3.Kb1 Qe4+ followed by 4...Qxg4 leave him with a winning position. Now consider the diagram on the right. E.C.O. stops here, giving White a winning position, but Black has 1...e5! 2.Qxf5 exf4 3.Qxf4 dxe4 and suddenly the situation is quite unclear!

Although E.C.O. is the Bible of modern opening theory, there have been numerous discoveries, both from tournament and postal play, since the latest editions. In these pages you will find hundreds of splendid opening traps, reversals, and pit-falls such as those shown above. The book covers virtually every opening played today, and the serious competitor is advised to study it in self-defense. After all, that's exactly what your opponents are doing!

This 1993 best-seller covers all five volumes (A, B, C, D and E) of E.C.O., and teaches a healthy skepticism of "published" analysis. A book you must have!
