Unorthodox Openings. Benjamin & Schiller. Batsford. 1987.
This is not to be confused with the very similarly named Unorthodox Chess
Openings by Schiller alone, which so earned the contempt of the late Tony
Miles that his entire review of the book in the English chess magazine
Kingpin consisted of two words: Utter crap
. Well, I don't know
about that, but I found this book, while hardly a classic of chess
literature, still worth a read. It contains lots of
interesting ideas of varying merit. None are explored very thoroughly;
but nevertheless if you're one of those players who likes to explore
off-beat ideas in the opening, this might be for you. "Explore" is the
operative word, though: you'll be doing most of the analysis yourself.
Not that there's anything wrong with that!
