Chess Openings For Dummies
Chess Openings For Dummies

Chess openings have been written about for centuries, but new books on the subject appear all the time. The analysis of leading experts has been augmented recently by sophisticated software and blindingly fast processing power. New insights are causing reevaluations of even the oldest of chess openings.
Chess has so many possible move orders, even in the opening phase of the game, that it锟絪 humanly impossible to commit them all to memory. Most players become specialists on a very small number of openings in order to avoid unfamiliar territory.
I looked at all these dense, technical, highly specialized tomes on chess openings, and I decided I wanted to write a different kind of book. I wanted to give average chess enthusiasts a way to choose an opening that would suit their style of play.
But the question is always, which of the myriad chess openings should you adopt for yourself? This book is intended to help you find the right chess opening for you.
No single book can comprehensively cover all the chess openings. Entire books have been devoted to a single variation on a single opening. You don锟絫 want to spend hours trying to memorize chess openings; you just want to be able to play them well and get to the type of game you enjoy.
What this book does provide is a guide to the general principles behind playing a chess opening well, and specific examples of practical play. I break down the openings into different types and include examples of wins and losses in the most common openings, which help you develop a feel for what type of game you锟絣l be getting into if you decide to play one of them.
For each variation of an opening, I present a game in which White wins, followed by a game in which Black comes out on top. Throughout these games, I offer commentary that helps you see where a player锟絪 strategy succeeds or fails. Remember, no opening gives you a 100-percent success rate 锟?you need to know the good and the bad in order to make an informed choice.
