As it covers all openings, Understanding the Chess Openings will also prove invaluable to those who are seeking to create a repertoire. At a glance, readers will get a feel for the character of an opening, and an idea of whether it might suit their style. Potential theoretical problem areas and move-order issues, so critical when creating a repertoire, are also highlighted.
Features include:
* Main lines explained move by move
* Guidance against rare but dangerous sidelines
* Special emphasis on lines popular at club level
* Brief description of both sides’ aims at the end of each main line
* General introduction to each major opening
* Complete games are given to illustrate key ideas
* More than 400 diagrams
