Grandmaster Eingorn is an chess opening trendsetter.
Throughout his career, he has introduced many novel concepts in the openings,
and some of the systems he has introduced have gone on to become absolute main
lines, such as the Rb1 Exchange Grünfeld. Here he explains the methods by
which he prepares his openings and works out new systems from scratch, and how
readers can do the same.
The broad topics he discusses include Experiments in the
Opening, Disturbing the Equilibrium, Strategic Planning, and Opening
Formations. He follows this up with a section of examples from modern practice,
and theoretical articles on several of the opening lines that he has pioneered,
taking us through the creative process, and the highs and lows of the practical
testing and refinement of the ideas.
Viacheslav Eingorn is an extremely experienced
grandmaster from Ukraine. He played regularly and successfully in the Top
League of the USSR Championship in the 1980s. He has represented Ukraine many
times in team events and plays frequently in the German Bundesliga and open
tournaments across Europe.

"The author is a renowned opening innovator, who has
introduced many systems that have become main line theory, including the Rbl
Exchange Grünfeld and Qc2 in the Queen's Gambit Declined. Here he
'explains the methods by which he prepares his openings,' and the creative
process in general, and how small nuances can have a great impact on the
strategic overview of a particular line. Topics include Experiments in the
Opening, Disturbing the Equilibrium, Strategic Planning, and Opening
Structures. All in all, this is a high-level treatise that requires more than a
cursory understanding of the game." - Mark Donlan, Chess Horizons

"This book is especially good in this day, when so many
people rely on memorizing hundreds of book moves without any idea why those
moves are played. Here players can learn the ideas behind the moves and how to
correctly approach the opening. This book contains a wealth of information, and
I would greatly encourage anyone wanting to improve their opening, to get this
book!" - Andy May, www.nsgchess.com
