Rating: Summary: 10 STARS! Review: This is one of the greatest opening books of all time in my opinion! Unlike other chess books, you don't have to memorize tons of variations and alternatives to get better at playing the opening! My rating went up thirty points after the next tournament! Seirawan also doesn't put all of his variations in the normal print, he bullets them, then goes over them one by one in order of most active! And he does not only the openings, but their certain defenses in the fourth and fifth chapters! It's a great book for intermediate/beginners, to. You can learn a lot from chapter one, "early days," and enjoy his "cannon attack" and "queen raid"! I thoughtthat chapter was funny. Yasser had a gift for writing. And he's letting yo make use of it! I would recommend this book to anybody from 600- 1300 I have a list of book that can improve your chess greatly as well: 1. Winning Chess Series- Yasser Seirawan #2 2. Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess- Bobby Fischer #3 3. Everybody's Second Chess Book- Dan Hiesman#4 4. Chess for Juniors -Robert M. Snyder #1 5. Unbeatable Chess Lessons for Juniors -Robert M. Snyder #1 6.Winning chess openings- Bill Robertie#8 7.Chess Travellers Quiz Book- Julian Hodgsen#6 8. Logical Chess-Reuben Fine #7 9. The Tao of Chess- Kurzdorpher #5
Rating: Summary: A fun filled tour de force of chess openings. Review: Winning Chess Openings is the fifth book in the Microsoft Press instructional chess series. This work which I designed to be read out of turn guides amateur and club player alike through the most difficult part of a chess game: the opening. The reader is given all the information about classical and modern openings and defenses which will suit their style. The presentation of the material is how I was taught to learn openings.
