In 1967, 25-year-old Rolf Martens won the Swedish Championshipplaying faster than anyone before. In the Student World Championshiphe defeated one of the world’s ten best players, and at the end of theyear he became the first Swede to make an IM-norm. Efim Geller said:“If Martens comes to Moscow, he will become one of the best playersin the world.”A few years later, he had quit playing to pursue political activism onthe far left. It became his vocation for the rest of his life.When Martens’ desire for chess returned, it was as an analyst. Hefounded the Ultra Hypermodern Counter Attack School and hasproduced more openings than perhaps any other player in history.Rolf Martens - Chess genius, Maoist and rebel is his life story, but alsoa book for anyone who wants to use his openings.
