"Very useful for chess friends whose repertoire is not yet fully fixed, because they can save a lot of time by skipping big systems such as the Queen's Gambit, the Slav and the Catalan." -- Heinz Daubler Neuer Tag Weiden Newspaper "Maybe it isn't so easy for White to prove a large advantage here and the line will almost certainly surprise your opponent."
