Focuses on explaining the underlying IDEAS behind all the major openings. Kudos to IM Watson for this valuable addition to the chess openings literature.īy Reuben Fine. If one is seriously interested in understanding the openings, and opening theory in general, these are among the very best references for that purpose.

MODERN CHESS OPENINGS SCRIBD SERIES
The entire series comprise a well executed survey of all the openings, targeted to the class-club level player. For a good, but more succinct treatment see "Understanding the Chess Openings" by Sam Collins.īy Stefan Djuric and Dimitry Komarov. Possibly the best single-volume openings reference. As the content of this book is relatively more advanced than that of the openings primers above, it would be more appropriate as a follow-on or supplement to them.īy Paul van der Sterren. Lots of practical advice, do's and don'ts of opening play and recommendations on openings to play. An openings guide, with repertoire suggestions, for amateurs up to Expert level. For additional instruction on opening tactics and attacking play see "The Winning Way" by Bruce Pandolfini and "Simple Attacking Plans" by Fred Wilson.īy Pete Tamburro.
MODERN CHESS OPENINGS SCRIBD HOW TO
Every beginner should acquire some familiarity with typical opening mistakes and how to exploit and/or avoid them. As the title indicates, the books' focus is exclusively on opening tactics and traps. A two-volume series introducing the king pawn openings (those beginning with 1.e4). The book is a treasure trove of pearls of chess opening wisdom and, like all of Z-N's books, a delight to read.īy Bruce Pandolfini. See also "Winning Chess Openings" by Yasser Seirawan.Īlso, for those who have a penchant for chess history, and who do not mind dealing with the older "Descriptive" chess notation, I highly recommend the instructive (though dated in terms of the latest theory, as it was originally published in 1935) "How to Play the Chess Openings" by Eugene A. While the treatment of each opening is cursory, it is helpful in gauging what the opening is about, providing perspective and sufficient exposure to aid in deciding which openings you might be interested in pursuing in more depth. Provides an introductory overview of not only basic opening principles and theory, but a broad survey of essentially every chess opening. See also "Chess Openings for Juniors" and "Winning In The Opening", both by J.N. This would be a good supplement-companion to John Emms' "Discovering Chess Openings." (above). Features tutorial overview chapters on the following openings: Giuoco Piano, Sicilian Dragon, Queen's Gambit, Nimzo-Indian Defence, and Morra Gambit. Does a better than average job explaining not only HOW to play the opening, but WHY moves are made. A well-written, instructive book, targeted to the beginner-novice, focusing on the application of opening PRINCIPLES and techniques. However, if you are uncertain about opening FUNDAMENTALS or what you should be thinking and doing during the opening, this book does an exceptional job of addressing and clarifying these issues.īy Mike Basman.
