Grundlagen des modernen Eroffnungsspiels

Grandmaster Aleksej Suetin teaches opening play in this well organized single-volume survey. Not a compendium (like E.C.O. or M.C.O.), Suetin instead offers guidelines and advice, grouped around annotated games, and according to the fundamentals of opening play. Chapters cover everything from elementary principles to the historical evolution of opening strategy. The ideas behind chess openings are examined, including tactical play, the initiative, the center, pawn play, and much more! Each concept is explained by well chosen illustrative games, with commentary and analysis for the advancing player. An authoritative work, revealing Suetin at his best!
