The author, Danish Master Carsten Hansen, stresses opening play based on comprehending opening principles as well as useful, fundamental knowledge. With an overview of all the most important opening variations, examples of good and bad opening play, opening traps and problems to solve, chess openings, and its major principles are covered thoroughly.
Many games are lost as a result of a player’s poor grasp of even the most basic principles of opening play. This book will help you enhance your understanding and give you guidelines on how to best study and play chess openings, reaching good, playable middlegame positions.
If you have read Levy "GothamChess" Rozman's "How to Win at Chess", "Chess for Dummies" or any other beginner's book about chess, then this book is then one you want to read. It perfectly bridges the gap between the introductory ideas about chess openings you will find in those books, and the more advanced material, that you will encounter in "Modern Chess Openings"
