BChess is a new variant of chess invented by the author and introduced for the first time in this book. Chess as a game is very popular throughout the world, that too for a very long time. Requiring both tactical skills and long term strategical thinking, playing at the top levels of chess is synonymous as indicators of genius. While a correspondence between true high intelligence and indicators of genius is debated, it is widely believed that visio-spatial intelligence skills can develop while playing chess. This new variant hopes to add on the strategy and increase the thrill of this brainy board game. This variant is planned to be implemented in a software based platform so that people can play this game throughout the world in real time. In the near future, the book is also planned to be released free of cost, in the electronic version.

If like most chess players you have a limited amount of time that you can spend studying, but you still want to push for an advantage with White, then the Trompowsky is a great choice. The Trompowsky, 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5, has not been as deeply investigated as many of the main lines, and it is an attacking opening that is tricky for Black to face.As well as providing an attacking repertoire for White with the ambitious Trompowsky Attack, the author also covers 2.Bg5 against the Dutch Defense, as well as the Pseudo-Tromp, 1.d4 d5 2.Bg5.
