2 new Jeroen Noomen Polyglot books

Post by Rebel »

On request of Jeroen, the master himself.

Daring.bin - The most fun book I've ever written! It plays (very) daring openings and tries to avoid current theory as much as possible. The emphasis is on gambits, covering almost all the well-known gambits: the King's Gambit, Evans Gambit, Morra Gambit, Budapest Gambit, Volga Gambit, Blumenfeld Gambit, Schara-von Hennig Gambit, and many others. The book also covers complex openings like the King's Indian, Dutch, Sicilian Dragon, and others, and avoids the main lines as much as possible. For those who love adventure, complex and sharp variations, and above all: gambits!

Variety.bin - Plays almost all common and popular openings, but only 4 to 12 moves deep. Lots of variation, so you'll almost never see the same line on the board. For those who enjoy variety and don't want too much theory.

90% of coding is debugging, the other 10% is writing bugs.

Dankjewel!
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Jeroen Noomen used to be known as "the fox" for his ability to win vital games in tournaments with opening book brilliancies. Is he, or anyone like him, able to do this against top engines in 2026?
Human chess is partly about tactics and strategy, but mostly about memory
