IM Talk
By International Master Jimmy Liew

IM Jimmy Liew is one of the few Malaysian players who works very hard at opening theory. He's always experimenting with 'new' lines in the hope of increasing his own arsenal of 'secret weapons'. One such line which Jimmy has used with great success is the Veresov Opening. Before Jimmy began playing the line, some of the local players used to term it 'The Very Soft Opening'. All that changed after  Jimmy's famous victory over Asia's first Grandmaster Eugenio Torre in 1986.
