Dubious Positions And How to Attack Them Boards 011-014

The first 14 boards (Chapter 1) in the book deal with various dubious positions in the Same Direction Cannon Opening System. The authors have presented various commonly seen dubious positions, including many questionable positions from the ancient manuals. There were no holds barred in their discussions and analyses.

The author is extremely grateful to have obtained the permission from Grandmaster Zhang Qiang and Master Yan Wenqing to translate their work and present them to the English speaking world.

There are accompanying Youtube videos which the Webmaster has added in the accompanying links. Click here for the link to the entire playlist:

As mentioned earlier, Chapter 1 discusses the Same Direction Cannons. This would also be the last page discussing the Same Direction Cannons in the book.

The authors published an updated version of their books (in Chinese) which is available for sale on Amazon.
