Don't get too excited, I don't have a full table of contents for this book, but what I do have are three more dangerous weapons that will feature in the book:
1) The
rehabilitated Max Lange Attack 2) The
Crunching Koltanoski Attack And for Black:
3)
Violating the Vienna, which seemed to have been snatched right off these forum threads. Here is the recommended
Dangerous Weapon......drumb roll please.....:
1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 considered ?! or ? in many sources due to
4.Qg4! but now comes the shocker
4...Nd4, intending
5.Qxg7 Qf6!? with a largely untested position where Black has more comp for the pawn than is first apparent.
Please note that the catchy titles of these Dangerous Weapons are my own invention and are not the chapter headings in the book, unless I get plagiarised of course.
This Dangerous Weapons series is reminiscent very much Jeroen Bosch's S.O.S books which both have the same objective. Ironically by publishing these lines you are in effect defeating the whole concept you are trying to promote, that is of a Secret Surprise Dangerous Weapon. Nevertheless the lines I have mentioned has certainly whet my appetite and I expect the book to sell extremely well.
While on the subject of Secret Weapons, I was following one of Fluffy's tournament games recently which will probably feature in twic update number 694 or 695, which went as follows:
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5 7.0-0 Nc6 8.d5 Ne7 9.Kh1 Nd7 10.g4!! I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this, the move never even crossed my mind in this exact position, but once it is played you realise it is quite logical and dangerous. Of course I immediately fired up Chessbase and lo and behold its nothing new, but was a favorite weapon of Miles and Larsen. And here it was I thought I was familiar with all lines of the KID, but somehow this idea escaped my attention. To Fluffy's credit he recovered nicely from what surely seemed to have been a unpleasant shock for him as well, and after an exciting struggle the game was eventually drawn.
Back to the topic of this thread, I wonder what other malevolent lines and ideas await readers of the eagerly anticipated Dangerous Weapons 1.e4 e5.

Postscript: Someone asked me a question yesterday on ICC while I was watching the Shirov vs Radjabov game, Linares 2008. I missed the question at the time, but the answer is yes.
