Description
Mastering the opening repertoire with 1 e4 is a key to success in chess. This comprehensive guide provides a one-volume, theoretically sound approach to dynamic openings.
James Rizzitano's expert analysis identifies essential principles for White players, including playing safe with the king, taking bishop-pairs in semi-open positions, and accepting material sacrifices. By studying the current top players' choices, Rizzitano reveals a repertoire of lines that can greatly narrow Black's path to safety.
The book covers main lines such as Giuoco Piano, Modern Advance Caro-Kann, Tarrasch French, Rossolimo, and Moscow Sicilians, as well as 2...e6 3 c3 against Scandinavian and Alekhine. With detailed work with top computer engines, Rizzitano provides a solid foundation for White players to improve their chances of success.
