Synopsis

This is the "Phoenix Attack Edition" of Zuke 'Em: The Colle-Zukertort Revolutionized (ISBN: 1888710357). This new attack promises to be the mainline for the future of the Colle-Zukertort (a.k.a. The Rubinstein Attack). For decades, the chess world has run down the reputation of the C-Z as an unassuming opening, claiming it did not exact the full measure of pain from Black in the quest to equalize. If such is the case, why do strong players (as Black) avoid the Zukertort? Instead they opt to play any of several pet defenses rather than deal with the constriction and onslaught of the main line. In Zuke 'Em: The Colle-System Revolutionzed, Rudel explains the basics of the Zukertort and then provided plenty of new ideas to address these various pet defenses that cowardly opponents may choose. In this book you will also find: 1.Introductory chapters for those who would not know the Zukertort from a Lemon Torte. 2.Analysis in real English from the perspective of someone who has played the opening exclusively for over a decade. 3.A barrage of never-before-published answers and extensive commentary on common lines. 4.A training section to help you retain and test your understanding of the opening.

About this title

Review

Very impressed by the sheer amount of effort and brain power... -- Grand Master Aaron Summerscale, author of A Killer Chess Opening Repertoire.

David Rudel's analysis and evaluation of the Zukertort is comprehensive. -- Life National Master Mick Bighamian (head of Los Angeles Chess Club)

Great...I am really happy with your work and like your writing style. -- National Master Michael Stewart

I really like the fact that Mr. Rudel takes an extremely close look at all the key move orders and tries to extract the maximum from each different setup that Black chooses. He shows that White still has a lot of bite left in ALL lines of the Zuke.
-- International Master Jeremy Silman's Book Review

It is simply wonderful! The tone of the book matches my understanding/expectation of the Zukertort system. The training section in the end is invaluable -- Srikanth Bangalore

Life National Master Larry Tamarkin calls it a "Terrific book for learning a new opening."

Life National Master Mick Bighamian [Owner of Los Angeles Chess Club] says "David Rudel's analysis of the Zukertort is Solid!"

Ron Cooper wrote "Sir, as a new user of [the C-Z], I have to say of all the books that I have bought, and that is a considerable amount, yours is without doubt the best."

International Master Jeremy Silman in personal correspondence said "The lines are VERY effective for players rated 1200-1900."
