Chess Opening Essentials: The Ideas & Plans Behind ALL Chess Openings, The Complete 1. e4 - Softcover
Synopsis
Most chess opening books are either too detailed or too shallow. Chess Opening Essentials has exactly the right balance and is an accessible primer and a reference book at the same time. It gives a flavor of how every opening works and points at the various middlegame plans that apply after the opening has ended.
Chess Opening essentials helps beginners to develop a solid understanding of fundamental opening ideas, gives casual players the ability to choose the opening that suits their style and taste and is a tool for club players to test and review their opening repertoire as well as a reference book to which advanced players keep returning.
The authors do not propagate forcing tactical variations to be memorized mechanically, but explain what you should actually be trying to achieve when playing the opening of your choice. They include the main alternative responses and give clear indications for further study.

Review
"I don’t think something like Chess Opening Essentials, in this size, yet exist. For players with a rating up to 1900 this book covers a large part of the road." -- Schakers.Info.nl
"It gives an outline of each opening and major variation in turn, explaining the ideas and most popular choices. This reviewer was impressed by the practical advice given in the notes of this well-produced volume." -- Britisch Chess Magazine
"It is about the basics of the opening, about the ensuing middle game positions, and about the plans one should pursue. Ideal for the club player who wishes to improve." -- Nederlands Dagblad
"The amount of information available on chess openings is so gigantic that one gets almost suffocated. In this book all the 1.e4 systems are clearly listed and presented, without losing itself in endless variations." -- Freechess.de
