This book completes the repertoire from the first two
volumes of Wojo's Weapons and covers the Fianchetto Grunfeld for the White
side. The late Aleksander Wojtkiewicz, known as 'Wojo' to his fans and
followers, was one of the most feared players of the White pieces in the U.S.
tournament circuit. Using his dynamic, Catalan-based opening repertoire, the
'Polish Magician' won hundreds of tournaments from the 1990's until his
untimely death in 2006. Now, Wojtkiewicz experts IM Dean Ippolito and NM
Jonathan Hilton have joined forces to produce the definitive 'how-to' manual
for learning Wojo's repertoire.
The Grünfeld is one of the most topical openings in
modern chess practice. Many club players
fear it, and top GMs often struggle to get an advantage when facing it as
White. But is it really a theoretically sound defense? In this third and final
volume of the acclaimed Wojo’s Weapons series, IM Dean Ippolito and NM Jonathan
Hilton claim to have found a sure route to an advantage against this opening.
Building on the repertoire of the late GM Aleksander Wojtkiewicz, the authors
reveal the fruits of a combined 35 years of Grünfeld analysis in the first 200
pages. Hilton, himself a Grünfeld player, admits that Ippolito’s pet variation
with the surprising 10.Qc2!? sets Black nearly insolvable problems in the open
lines.Much more than a Grünfeld monograph, however, Wojo’s Weapons III provides
in-depth coverage of other pesky openings such as the Dutch, the Old Indian,
and the Hedgehog, arming you with the knowledge needed to turn the tables on
your opponent and take him out of his comfort zone.No matter what openings they
play, chessplayers at any skill level can use Ippolito and Hilton’s full-game
coverage in Wojo’s Weapons III as a series of practical lessons in strategic
chess.This ambitious repertoire project for White, which started with the 2009
release of the first volume of Wojo’s Weapons, is now complete.
