Wojo's Weapons: Winning With White Volume 2 - Jonathan Hilton and Dean Ippolito
The late Aleksander Wojtkiewicz – known as “Wojo” to his fans and followers – was one of the most feared players of the White pieces in the U.S. tournament circuit. Using his dynamic, Catalan-based opening repertoire, the “Polish Magician” won hundreds of tournaments from the 1990’s until his untimely death in 2006. Now, Wojtkiewicz experts IM Dean Ippolito and NM Jonathan Hilton have joined forces to produce the definitive “how-to” manual for learning Wojo’s repertoire with White after 1.Nf3 d5. Over the course of 75 fully annotated games – 40 of which were played by Wojo himself – the authors make Wojtkiewicz’s strategies easily accessible to the chess public for the first time.
