552 pages with diagrams and photographs. Octavo (9" x 8") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. Second revised and updated. In this book, the first to focus on these issues, Steve Giddins provides common-sense guidance on one of the perennial problems facing chess-players. He tackles questions such as: whether to play main lines, offbeat openings or 'universal' systems; how to avoid being 'move-ordered'; how to use computers; if and when to depart from or change your repertoire. Giddins argues that from novice to grandmaster, a player's basic task when choosing a repertoire is the same: he needs to select openings that suit his playing style and that he can play with confidence. The repertoire should not require more memory work and study than he is capable of, or has time for. The book is rounded off with a look at the use of 'role models' and an investigation of the repertoires of leading players past and present. Condition: Near fine. Seller Inventory # C2961
This series shows you how to start your chess games as dynamically and accurately as the greatest grandmasters in the world. Three-time US Champion Champion Lev Alburt, famous for his ability to turn aspiring players into masters, teams up with two-time U.S. Champion Roman Dzindzichashvili and young international star Eugene Perelshteyn to give you a complete repertoire of opening play-as well as a review of all openings and an explanation of the principles of playing this crucial stage of the game. And although these books concentrate on the first 20 moves or so of a chess game, they never leave you hanging without a plan. The authors make sure you know the themes and ideas so that you can follow up your great opening play with winning strategies. Chess Openings for Black, Explained covers the game from the black side. The authors thoroughly ground you in the grandmaster-openings of modern chess, teaching you the opening that scores highest against 1. e4 on a master level. Fully illustrated with two-color chess diagrams throughout.
About the Author: LEV ALBURT is thrice US Chess Champion and former European Chess Champion, ROMAN DZINDZICHASHVILI is twice US Chess Champion and EUGENE PERELSHTEYN is an up and coming young international chess star.
