Coffeehouse Repertoire is a 1.e4 Volumen 1 player’s dream: an arsenal of ideas from a world-

class grandmaster to surprise and confound your opponents, combining coffeehouse trickery with

complete theoretical soundness.

 

Coffeehouse Repertoire is a 1.e4 Volume 1, GM Gawain Jones shows how to put pressure on

the Sicilian, Caro-Kann, Scandinavian and Alekhine’s Defences, using lines which feature a potent

combination of surprise value, objective soundness and practical effectiveness.

 

In Volume 1 1.e4 will be completed in Volume 2, which covers 1…e5, plus the

French, Pirc, Modern, Philidor and other miscellaneous Defences.

Gawain Jones is an English grandmaster, twice British Champion and winner of the 2020

European Blitz Championship. He has defeated some of the world’s best players using the ideas

recommended in this book.

 

Coffeehouse Repertoire 1.e4 Volumen 1

 

After becoming a grandmaster in 2007, he climbed his way to the top tier with impressive results in

several major tournaments. He proved he could battle the best when he defeated former world

championship contender Nigel Short in the 2011 Bunratty Masters, going on to win the tournament.

But his biggest title came in 2012, when he won the British Championship – a title he would claim a

second time in 2017.

 

And GM Jones dazzles on the world stage just as he does in the UK. In 2016 and 2017, he won the

Dubai Open back to back, the only player ever to do so. He is also a continued presence and

tremendous asset to the British team in the Chess Olympiads and World Team Chess

Championships.

 

Though an active tournament player to this day, GM Jones also somehow finds time to write detailed

books on chess. As an opening specialist, he has written extensively on the Sicilian – specifically, how

to beat it. He has now brought his vast opening knowledge to Chessable, where he made his debut

with the most thorough guide to the King’s Indian Defense on the site – and perhaps anywhere.
