ZOOM 001: Zero hour for operative opening models

by Bent Larsen

This is the groundbreaking cult classic by the Legendary Grandmaster Bent Larsen and the noted openings theoretician Steffen Zeuthen. Zoom 001 stands for Zero Hour for Operative Opening Models. This book is an examination of the Grunfeld Indian Structure {d4, Nf3, g3, Bg2} for white, and {d5, Nf6, g6, Bg7} for Black.* * The principal idea behind Zoom 001 is the creation of “pattern knowledge” of typical middle game/endgame structures—one of a grandmaster’s essential qualities. Using games by Andersson, Botvinnik, Fischer, Korchnoi, and of course Larsen, the authors show how these structures typically arise. Larsen and Zeuthen demonstrate that pattern recognition is a timeless skill. By recognizing these typical patterns, you will not only gain a feel for the position, but will be able to effectively form a game plan.* If we’re shipping to a USA address (sorry, but International shipping costs increases every 4 ounces), the purchase of this item also qualifies you to receive TEN (10) FREE ‘Thank you’ Gifts from LabateChessPlus,.
