This is the "Phoenix Attack Edition" of Zuke 'Em: The Colle-Zukertort Revolutionized (ISBN: 1888710357). This new attack promises to be the mainline for the future of the Colle-Zukertort (a.k.a. The Rubinstein Attack). For decades, the chess world has run down the reputation of the C-Z as an unassuming opening, claiming it did not exact the full measure of pain from Black in the quest to equalize. If such is the case, why do strong players (as Black) avoid the Zukertort? Instead they opt to play any of several pet defenses rather than deal with the constriction and onslaught of the main line. In Zuke 'Em: The Colle-System Revolutionzed, Rudel explains the basics of the Zukertort and then provided plenty of new ideas to address these various pet defenses that cowardly opponents may choose. In this book you will also find: 1.Introductory chapters for those who would not know the Zukertort from a Lemon Torte. 2.Analysis in real English from the perspective of someone who has played the opening exclusively for over a decade. 3.A barrage of never-before-published answers and extensive commentary on common lines. 4.A training section to help you retain and test your understanding of the opening.

Review
Very impressed by the sheer amount of effort and brain power... -- Grand Master Aaron Summerscale, author of A Killer Chess Opening Repertoire.
David Rudel's analysis and evaluation of the Zukertort is comprehensive. -- Life National Master Mick Bighamian (head of Los Angeles Chess Club)
Great...I am really happy with your work and like your writing style. -- National Master Michael Stewart
I really like the fact that Mr. Rudel takes an extremely close look at all the key move orders and tries to extract the maximum from each different setup that Black chooses. He shows that White still has a lot of bite left in ALL lines of the Zuke.
-- International Master Jeremy Silman's Book Review
It is simply wonderful! The tone of the book matches my understanding/expectation of the Zukertort system. The training section in the end is invaluable -- Srikanth Bangalore --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

A thorough and well laid out book. The chatty style makes Zuke 'Em very readable. Many original ideas, both in the content and presentation.
The author is comfortable criticising previous Colle books, mostly for their ommisions and also gives credit where it is due to his predecessors.
Beware of occasional typos, and don't be fooled by the cover, this is a serious and well researched openings book which speaks to club level players in a language we understand.

Quite simply the most original and accessible chess opening book I have ever read. Rudel has been criticized for having the cheek to write this book while not being a titled player. Utter nonsense! What makes a good teacher is the ability to engage his student, making even the hard work bits seem more fun than chore as well as being able to speak to his audience at their own level without losing authority. David Rudel is a refreshing new voice in chess writing and has made the Colle-Zukertort into a formidable opening weapon. One of the most refreshing points is a willingness to admit to not having all the answers,another the lack of phrases such as "the rest is just technique" or "White stands clearly better". Surely I am not the only one who wants to grab the author by the lapels and tell him that "the rest" or the clarity of white's advantage may well be obvious to him, but if it were obvious to me then I wouldn't need to buy or be reading his book, would I?"
Zuke Em' treats the reader as the average reader probably is- an enthusiastic player who doesn't have the time-or inclination- to decipher the jargon. The material is presented in a breezy, chatty style which doesn't avoid the hard issues and shows the reader the respect the paying customer deserves. Apart from "Tiger's Modern" by Tiger Hillarp Persson, Zuke'Em and it's follow-up "The Moment of Zuke" are the only openings books I have been able to study properly, because they are never impenetrable and are always entertaining. The chess is sound and well explained, the writing is accessible and the humour good (for the most part anyway). Since reading the books mentioned my games' opening stages are much improved, as are my overall results- 100 grading points up in a year.... Read more ›

I have read both Mr Rudel's books as I love the Colle system. They're full of excellent advice and I feel it is almost impossible to lose if you take on board his ideas. Also try Chess:The Endgame and/or Chess Essentials both by Paul Wiseman.
