An Introduction to the Moves, Strategies and Philosophy of Chess from One of the World's Top Chess Players.
The two greatest challenges for beginning chess players are not only to survive the opening phase, but also to choose appropriate attack and defence formations in the process. This book shows you how to do both. In Seirawan's entertaining, easy-to-follow style, you are shown formations that can be used with either White or Black pieces, a unique concept in chess books.
The book teaches beginning chess players a vast array of useful skills and strategies, including how to:
- Build a safe house for a king
- Eliminate losses of ten moves or fewer
- Utilise the elements of time, force, space, and pawn structure
You will develop a solid understanding of opening principles that you can apply to every game you play, without having to memorise a dizzying array of tedious and lengthy opening lines.
