BEZGODOV - The liberated bishop defence
In many 1.d4 openings, Black has trouble getting his bishop on c8 into play. Former Russian Chess Champion Alexey Bezgodov presents a radical solution to this nagging problem; liberate your bishop right away and put it on f5 on the second move!
Play 2...Bf5! against either 2.c4 or 2.Nf3 will surprise your opponent and is also a great way to support your development, because the bishop takes control of the important square e4. If White does not immediately take decisive action, then within a move or two he can relinquish any hopes on an opening advantage.
Alexey Bezgodov has found some great antidotes to White's most dangerous reactions in sharp and attractive lines. To test your understanding of his system he has included more than 100 exercises. After studying the fresh ideas and the clear explanations presented in The Liberated Bishop Defencechess players of almost every strength will enjoy the flexibility of a surprising, effective and universal weapon against 1.d4.

HOUSKA - Starting Out : the Scandinavian
Retour à du plus digeste (donc sans doute plus utile au joueur lambda) - encore que les Starting out tendent à prendre de l'embonpoint, avec le temps. Oui, je sais : sont pas les seuls Bref, celui-ci nous cause Scandinave (je parle de l'ouverture, évidemment : le texte est toujours en anglais), et consacre trois parts à peu près égales à la variante classique (3Da5), aux variantes ' prudentes ' (surtout 3Dd6) et à l'alternative 2Cf6. Complet, donc.
