Opening Moves Made Easy This book has many large clear colour diagrams. You do not need a chess set and board to read this book. It is designed to be read several times. Each time it is reread, you may grasp points that were previously obscure to you. Introduction Most opening books concentrate on concrete variations. One shortcoming of knowledge of a concrete variation is that a move might be valid in one position, but even if another position has only one small difference then the same move may be a terrible blunder. Understanding of ideas is more valuable than memorisation of specific moves. Ideas can often be applied in different situations. It does not matter how much opening theory you know, you will always get into opening positions you have never reached before. The ability to improvise is valuable. Opening Principles The book examines standard opening principles and explores their strengths and weaknesses. Opening Moves This book examines likely moves in the opening, including the 20 possible moves in the initial position. It looks at the strong and weak points of each move. There are numerous example positions from real openings. There are over 250 large clear color diagrams. Enjoy!
