A collection of 89 unusual, extensively annotated games where it seems that the normal rules of strategy and tactics do not apply. From the cover: The vast majority of chess games witness familiar strategies and well known tactical motifs. Sometimes however, games appear that seem to have been played on a different planet. Conventional strategies go out of the window. Familiar tactical themes are nowhere to be seen. Chaos has broken out... The author has assembled a collection of brilliantly unconventional and irrational games. The positions in these games appear almost random. Kings have gone walkabout, pieces are on bizarre squares, huge pawn rollers are sweeping all before them. Irrational chess is like nothing you’ve seen before. As well as being highly instructive this is a hugely entertainging book. 2 pictures. Further information about the book is available at everymanchess.com
