Description
Starting with 1 e4 e5 is one of the most common opening moves in chess, and the resulting complex of responses has its own distinct category: "The Open Games". This central structure often leads to play based around classical themes that form the foundation of successful chess understanding. The First Steps series offers a new approach to improving players who want straightforward explanations.
This book focuses on the basic principles, strategies, and key tricks and traps of the Open Games. It uses carefully selected instructive games to demonstrate what both sides are trying to achieve, providing enough theory for improving players to get started without feeling overwhelmed. If you're looking to explore a new opening, First Steps is an ideal place to begin.
