Every endeavour has been made to restrict the traps given to those discovered during the last t w o decades - except in cases where a really important line dates back earlier - and the original source is recorded only where it seems conclusive that the pitfall in question claimed its first v i c t i m in one particular game. This book is designed to help the average player chart a safe course t h r o u g h the shoals w h i c h abound in each Fianchetto opening. This sensational encounter involving the first defeat of a reigning w o r l d champion in the 20th century by a British player, is analysed in the chapter on the Benoni Defence. One typical instance is the snare that cost Tal his game against Penrose in the 1960 Chess Olympics at Leipzig (and w h i c h incidentally w a s the only game lost by any Soviet player in the w h o l e t o u r n a m e n t ! ). Sparks cari normally be expected to fly w h e n players like these sit d o w n at the board, and n e w snares and pitfalls for the unwary are constantly being revealed in their games. In assembling these 200 traps, the author has made a deep study of systems used by the great original thinkers of the present day Tal, Fisher, Larsen and Penrose.
