"A modern day version of Reuben Fine's Ideas Behind the Chess Openings , Fundamental Chess Openings primarily uses words to describe the ideas and motivations behind different opening systems. The emphasis is on understanding rather than memorization with van der Sterren rarely going beyond move ten. The contents page shows that all major openings are covered." - John Donaldson, USA Team Captain

Synopsis
* The perfect survival guide to the chess openings * All openings covered * Detailed verbal explanations of plans for both sides * Up-to-date and featuring many tips and recommendations * Insights into the 'character' of each opening * Written by one of the world's foremost opening experts The first moves of a chess game define the nature of the whole struggle, as both players stake their claim to the critical squares and start to develop their plans. It is essential to play purposefully and to avoid falling into traps or reaching a position that you don't understand. This is not a book that provides masses of variations to memorize. Paul van der Sterren instead offers a wealth of ideas and explanation, together with the basic variations of each and every opening. This knowledge will equip players to succeed in the opening up to good club level, and provide a superb grounding in opening play on which to build a more sophisticated repertoire. The strategies he explains will, unlike ever-changing chess opening theory, remain valid as long as chess is played, and so the time spent studying this book will be rewarded many times over., * The perfect survival guide to the chess openings * All openings covered * Detailed verbal explanations of plans for both sides * Up-to-date and featuring many tips and recommendations * Insights into the 'character' of each opening * Written by one of the world's foremost opening experts The first moves of a chess game define the nature of the whole struggle, as both players stake their claim to the critical squares and start to develop their plans.

- e***_ (27)- Feedback left by buyer.More than a year agoVerified purchaseI had a very positive experience. I bought a 2 volume set and the books came as advertised, like new. They were extremely well packaged and arrived about 3 weeks prior to the scheduled delivery time frame. As if that were not enough, I had actually checked the box to pay a little extra for tracking info, without realizing that the seller was already including it in the price. After the purchase was completed, I got an email/note from the seller refunding me for the extra fee. Very honest.2 CHESS BOOKS: TACTICAL TARGETS IN CHESS - VOL. 1 and VOL. 2 - by Istvan Pongo (#284688961588)
