Foreword
This chess book amazes me. Firstly it is not annotated

by a human, it is annotated by Houdini Chess Engine. It
has no recommendations or contributions from any
titled chess player. What makes it relevant is the single
fact that it was made by a group of ordinary people
who love chess and want to play chess, share chess and
discover chess with like-minded people.
This breaks the rules but for all the right reasons.

Introduction
The unassuming Alexander Morozevich is one of

the most exciting chess players of recent
years. His
prowess in winning middle ranking tournaments
and
in revamping old antiquated chess opening and parading

them at the highest levels and beating world class players
with less than world class accepted chess openings. He
also happens to have one of the most uncompromising
styles of chess, eschewing the draw on every move and
playing some of the most beautiful
games in the history of the game.

There is not a single true chess-player in the world whose
heart does not beat faster at the mere sound of such long
beloved and familiar words as 'gambit games'. - David
