Zuke 'Em-The Colle Zukertort Revolutionized - David I Rudel

This is the 2015 Edition of Rudel's acclaimed Queen's Pawn Game work, with over 50 pages of cutting edge material. It boasts a completely new tack against the Slav and addressed an annoying drawing line from the Reversed Queen's Indian. This 2015 edition still includes the revolutionary Phoenix Attack for the Colle-Zukertort proper, first introduced with extensive commentary by Rudel in 2011. This attack promises to be the future mainline for the Colle-Zukertort (a.k.a. The Rubinstein Attack). For decades, the chess world has run down the reputation of the C-Z as an unassuming opening, claiming it did not exact the full measure of pain from Black in the quest to equalize. If such is the case, why do strong players (as Black) avoid the Zukertort? Instead they opt to play any of several pet defenses rather than deal with the constriction and onslaught of the main line. In Zuke 'Em: The Colle-System Revolutionzed, Rudel explains the basics of the Zukertort and then provided plenty of new ideas to address these various pet defenses that cowardly opponents may choose. In this book you will also find: 1.Introductory chapters for those who would not know the Zukertort from a Lemon Torte. 2.Analysis in real English from the perspective of someone who has played the opening exclusively for over a decade. 3.A barrage of never-before-published answers and extensive commentary on common lines. 4.A training section to help you retain and test your understanding of the opening.
