Watson Then Moves On To Discuss New Concepts, Including The Willingness Of Modern Players To Accept Backward Pawns In Return For Dynamic Play, The Idea Of A Good Bad Bishop, Knights Finding Useful Roles At The Edge Of The Board And The Exchange Sacrifice Ideas That Became Prevalent With The Postwar Soviet Champions. This Profound Yet Thoroughly Practical Work Is Rounded Off With Sections On Prophylactic Thinking, Dynamism, Modern Concepts As They Apply To The Critical Contemporary Opening Systems, And Some Thoughts On The Future Of Chess.International Master John Watson Is One Of The Worlds Most Respected Writers On Chess.
