Are You Afraid of Flank Openings? This book covers adventures with 1.c4, 1.Nf3, 1.b4, 1.b3, 1.g4, 1.g3 and a few Fools Mates. Play the English Opening 1.c4. Choose the Reti Opening 1.Nf3. Have fun playing the Englund Gambit 1.d4 e5!? Experiment with the Sokolsky or Polish Opening 1.b4, Larsen's Opening 1.b3, the Spike or Grob Attack 1.g4 and the King's Fianchetto 1.g3. Don't let the rare lines scare you. Try it! The author expanded this book in 2016 to include 90 games and an Index of Names of Games. Tim Sawyer provides insights in annotated games of his 45 year career. He demonstrates bold ideas against masters, experts and club players. There is a bonus "Chess Training Repertoire 1" sample chapter at the end of the book. The author has written separate books on the Bird & Dutch 1.f4 & 1...f5, and on the Queens Knight 1.Nc3 and 1...Nc6. Those lines are not found in this Flank Openings book.
