"Over the past decade English International Master Mike Basman has terrorized the tournament circuit, mortifying many leading players with his handling of the highly controversial Grob opening (1 g4 or 1 ... g5). Now the world's leading authority, counting both Nunn and Speelman among his many victims, he shows how those with a taste for the unorthodox may also reap benefit from this aggressive and uncompromising approach to the opening."--Page 4 of cover.
