Which opening does better in practice: the wild, “unsound” and “refuted” Latvian Gambit (1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 f5) or the solid Philidor Defence (1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 d6)?
As James Schuyler points out, referring to the definitive Megabase, the Latvian Gambit scores higher.
How can such a discredited opening (and the same story is repeated with other “unsound” openings) do so well? The point is that playing like this throws the opponent off balance, makes them anxious and induces mistakes.
Even the very best players recognize the value of discomforting the opponent. Historically, Emanuel Lasker was the master of this approach and his modern day equivalent is world champion Magnus Carlsen. Carlsen frequently employs offbeat openings and his opponents invariably fail to counter them correctly.
This is the key theme of this book. Schuyler covers all phases of the game and discusses other vital subjects such as harassment, material imbalance, time management, surprise moves, unusual ideas, provocative play, manoeuvres and recovering from bad positions.

* Includes methods to improve practical play
* Develops a win-oriented attitude

Works well
A bit small, but works well to keep my 3 remotes and other small items organized on my side table.

Nice but Could be better
This is a nice product to house all you remotes in one spot on the night table next to a bed or where ever you keep remotes. For the most part this remote control holder is sturdy, attractive and convenient. I has two levels but is lacking a separator on each level to prob your remotes up and keep them from sliding sideways. So, I would recommend the ability to put "remote control" dividers, perhaps somehow adjustable, where you could slide the divider to the width of each respective remote to keep it standing up and not sliding sideways that create a "pile or stack" of remotes.

Works great!
I mounted a toilet tissue paper holder on this, and then mounted it across from my toilet. This makes it about 6" closer to make it easy to reach. I also put the remote for my bodey in the organizer.
