Exactly 25 years ago, this book was an absolute bestseller, which unfortunately only saw a single edition by the Sportverlag Berlin (East). The reason: co-author and chess trainer Gerhard Schmidt had left the GDR for the West. So the title, which was considered an absolute insider tip in chess circles, especially because of its well-founded and understandable presentation, was put on the index from then on. But the strategic theme of the open line and the connections between position type and relevant plans are fortunately timeless. And so a new edition is finally available, which has not only been thoroughly revised, but also contains games from the practice of today's top players such as Garry Kasparov, Vladimir Kramnik and Judith Polgar.
