Winning Unorthodox Openings

This objective guide covers all 16 of White's alternative to 1 e4, 1 d4, 1 c4 and 1 Nf3. Some of these lines have a cult following while others are just sensible ways of starting the game, with their own subtleties and pitfalls for the unwary, while a few are truly off-beat. Dunnington provides the 'essential knowledge' for those who plan to catch people with them as White, or need, as must all players, to counter them as black.
