Centuries Worth of Opening Theory and Analysis

The topic of chess openings is very theoretical. For centuries, some of the brightest minds in the game have analyzed the game and provided the world with tips on how to establish domination from just the first few moves. However, opening theory is very broad and covers hundreds of possible variations. If you’re only beginning to learn and play the game, most books on chess openings will be too intricate and lack the amount of detail required for you to fully understand opening theory.

Learn to Win Games From the Opening

This book is the perfect guide for chess beginners wanting to learn about opening theory and improve the quality of their openings when playing the game. It covers 30 of the most popular chess openings in history and for each, it provides the following:

• Move by move analysis of each opening

• Chess diagrams to illustrate every single move and give you a visual representation of each position on the board

• A list of advantages and disadvantages of each opening (for both players with white and black pieces)

• MOST IMPORTANTLY: A move by move analysis of a grandmaster-level chess game where each opening was used

In other words, this book will very simply teach you best opening practices and go over the ones you are most likely to encounter when playing the game. It will also give you all the information you need in order to know which opening to play under which circumstances. Furthermore, it will help you develop your own playing style based on sound openings that have been analyzed and tested for centuries by the brightest minds to ever play the game.

Learn From Games Played by Chess Grandmasters

This book will also show you examples of opening theory put in practice by chess grandmasters throughout history which will help you understand the reasoning and analysis behind each move. As a result, you will learn to predict probable future moves based on what has been done in the past by the best to ever play the game.

So don't hesitate. If you want to learn to win chess games from the opening, now is the time. Just scroll up and grab your copy now!

About the Author

Hi,   My name is Cory Klein and I’m a Software Developer with a passion for the game of chess.   I started playing Chess when I was very young and I have always been passionate about this beautiful game. At first, it was just a game we played among friends and classmates, but I quickly fell in love with it. I believe the game of Chess awoke in me a passion for logical thinking and puzzle solving that is well aligned with my passion for computers and coding. Chess is so much more than a game to me. It is and has been an opportunity to get with friends and spend quality time together. Furthermore, it has been a continuous source of entertainment both through playing and research in the form of lectures and videos I watch regularly. Chess has also been a great bonding experience and a way to meet new people with similar interest in the game. In college, I regularly played in a chess club where I made a few friends who I still play against every now and then.   To be completely transparent, I am no chess master nor expert. These titles require levels of intelligence, knowledge, and practice that I have not had the chance to reach. However, I know quite a bit about the game from years of research, lectures, videos and most importantly, playing. I have played and studied the game long enough to teach the basics to any chess beginner. I have successfully taught it to a few friends and relatives, and although I have not made anybody a chess master, I have helped people discover the game and start playing it which I’m very happy about.    Like I said before, I believe chess is an opportunity to bond with people. It is also a very fun and entertaining game, especially if you like logic teasers, puzzles, and problem solving in general. My goal is to make the game accessible and playable to as many people as possible. Chess is kind of a culture that I would love to see grow more and more. As I am sure, there are many people out there curious to learn how to play this wonderful game, and I hope my introductory books can be a starting point.   Thanks for reading and don’t wait to make a move!   Cheers,    Cory
