"Swedish Grandmaster Axel Smith's e3 Poison is one of the more original opening books to be published this century. Its author aims at no less than the creation of an entire opening repertoire based on the move e3. White aims at a setup (Nf3, e3, Be2, d4, c4 and Nc3) which can reach similar positions whether one opens 1.c4, 1.d4, 1.Nf3 or 1.e3...
e3 Poison will prove most useful for players 2200 on up who can handle the many transpositions and different middlegame pawn structures that arise."
