The third volume of Watson's acclaimed series, focused on flank openings and the way structures cross-pollinate between systems.

Particularly in the context of reversed and analogous forms of standard structures, the reader sees why certain ideas work and others don't, and meets the concept of 'Cross-Pollination' in even more varied forms than in the first two volumes. The result is a deeper, more holistic view of opening play that complements the previous instalments rather than overlapping with them. International Master John Watson is one of the world's most respected writers on chess; his groundbreaking four-volume work on the English Opening firmly established his reputation in the 1980s, and Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy won the British Chess Federation Book of the Year Award in 1999.
