HI everyone.

I just wanted to let people know that a sneak preview of my second book on the Colle-Zukertort, Queen-pawn-attacking repertoire is available on the Excerpts Page of my website: www.zukertort.com

Well, since I'm working on it and a completely different project [www.biblicalheresy.com] it might be February before it is out.

Hey there,

So it turns out that the book got delayed (obviously), but it really is almost ready. I still think I can make a June 15th release date.

It has 7 modules and is useful to both types of Colle System players:

1. Move Order Quandaries

2. Slaying the b7-monster [dealing with an early Q-side fianchetto]

3. Putting down an errant Knight [dealing with an early ...Ne4]

4. The Kite of Doom [attacking strategies for a particular common setup, including detailed coverage of the double-Bishop sacrifice

5. The Game-Changing Retreat [dealing with ...Nfd7, threatening ...f6, ...f5, or Nxe5]

6. Charge!! [When to play g4!?]

7. Classic Greek Gifts (the most detailed discussion of Bxh7+! ever).

210-220 pages.

The book was finished about a week ago and has been sent into the printer.

It turned into a 1 pound behemoth [258 large pages.]

It took a while longer before it was officially available on Amazon, but the book (The Moment of Zuke: Critical Positions and Pivotal Decisions for Colle System Players) is now available.  www.colle-system.com has more details.
