The third volume of the three-volume series on Canadian Grandmaster Duncan Suttles features another 300 games which begin with the "B" to "E" categories of openings, using the Encyclopedia of Chess Openings opening classification system.
For much of his career, Suttles played 1.e4, and in this volume examines his unique approaches to the Alekhine's, Caro Kann, French and Sicilian Defenses. The reader will discover new possibilities in the advanced variations against the Caro Kann and French, learn to fear the Portland Attack (although for which side might be in doubt), and will find a gold mine of ideas in the Closed Sicilian.
As Black, Suttles was an unwavering proponent of 1 ...g6, and devotees of this opening will find many "Rat" and Pirc Defenses, including games against some of the world's top players. Suttles didn't play favorites! He played fearless chess, and the final volume of his game collection contains its full quota of dramatic, intense struggles.

Preface to Volume 3The third and final volume of the series of Canadian Grandmaster Duncan Suttles' games contains the games which begin with the "B" to "E" categories of openings, using the opening classification system popularized by the Encyclopedia of Chess Openings.
This volume features Suttles' encounters with a variety of Black defenses, including the Nimzowitsch, Center Counter, Alekhine's, Caro-Kann and French. Rats appear in profusion, and Rat players will find much of interest, as well as inspiration, in this volume.
The evolution in Suttles' approach to the Sicilian defense can also be seen. The radical Wing Gambit is followed by a grudging admission that the Sicilian is sound, to an abandonment of the open variation in favor of the Closed Sicilian. Here, where ideas are more important than precise variations, lies buried treasure for those willing to dig for it.
The volume ends with weird openings such as the Vienna, Ruy Lopez and even the Queen's Gambit.
As with Volume 2, some games are presented in their entirety only in Volume 1, but Volume 3 contains some memorable games as well:
Hübner-Suttles, Palma de Mallorca, 1970 (page 675)a vicious, confusing street fight.
Underhill-Suttles, Cincinnati, 1964 (page 676)Suttles at work in a weekend Swiss, making something out of nothing.
Rubin-Suttles, Montreal, 1973 (page 682)Suttles exploits his advantage in the usual manner by running his king into the middle of the board to escape a mating attack.
Gufeld-Suttles, Suhumi, 1972 (page 693)an absolute classic, one of Suttles' best.
Gutierrez-Suttles, Mayaguez, 1971 (page 709)another superb game, culin a death-defying king walk to safety.
Benko-Suttles, Boston, 1964 (page 715)the loss which made Suttles famous.
Matulovic-Suttles, Palma de Mallorca, 1970 (page 721)an eventful draw.
Harmon-Suttles, Seattle, 1963 (page 753)arguably the funniest game in any of the three volumes.
Cook-Suttles, Ottawa, 1973 (page 770)Suttles' personal favorite.
Suttles-Potter, Vancouver, 1961 (page 811)despite this early catastrophe, Suttles went on to become a Grandmaster.
Suttles-Cleghorn, Seattle, 1964 (page 814)a close runner- up for the funniest game.
Larsen-Suttles, Sousse, 1967 (page 824)an impressive rout of the Danish Grandmaster during his best year.
Siaperas-Suttles, Skopje, 1972 (page 856)Suttles unleashes a prepared line against the Closed Sicilian.
Enjoy the book!
