Description of Starting Out: The Trompowsky Attack
The Trompowsky Attack is well known as an ambitious and aggressive opening. Initially an offbeat line favored by club players, in recent history it has undergone somewhat of a transformation.
Thanks to the efforts and innovations of Grandmasters such as Mickey Adams and Julian Hodgson, it has been
fine-tuned into a powerful attacking weapon, and today it is seen as an important mainline opening in its own right. The Trompowsky leads to diverse positions, sharp or positional, and it also allows both sides to play creatively from the very early stages of the game.
In this book, Richard Palliser studies the Trompowsky by going back to basics, introducing the key moves and ideas, and taking care to explain the reasoning behind them - something that has often been neglected or taken for granted.
Everyman Chess's Starting Out series has firmly established itself as the leading guide to studying openings for up-and-coming players. These books are distinguished by their easy-to-read layout, the lucid explanations of the fundamentals, and the abundance of notes, tips and warnings to help the reader absorb vital ideas. Starting Out opening books are ideal for enthusiastic chess players who have little experience of the openings in question and who wish to appreciate the essential principles behind them.
Richard Palliser is an International Master with numerous tournament successes to his name, and in 2006 he became Joint British Rapidplay Champion. He has already established a reputation as a skilled and prolific chess writer.

Ed from Toledo Starting Out: The Trompowsky Attack ReviewRichard has done a great job as usual. This book has all the information a player could want to choose one's way within the Trompowsky. I rather like the solid lines myself. Palliser plays the Trompowsky and his games come up from time to time. Thank you Richard and Everyman Chess for this helpful book.
Carl from Denver Starting Out: The Trompowsky Attack ReviewGM Palliser's writing style is excellent for those of us who prefer some explanations with our readings, versus the data-base dumps we often purchase by mistake! Palliser is honest in his evaluations and cites a large numbers of other works in his efforts to keep things informative and up to date. A good book, as all the boks by Palliser tend to be.
