Mastering the Chess Openings Watson John
For most chess-players, opening study is sheer hard work. Tragically often, once the opening is over, a player won't know what plan to follow, or even understand why his pieces are on the squares on which they sit. It is hard to know what is important and what is not, and when specific knowledge is vital, or when a more general understanding is sufficient.
In his previous books on chess strategy, he explained vital concepts that had previously been the domain only of top-class players. John Watson seeks to help chess-players achieve a more holistic and insightful view of the openings. Here he does likewise for the openings, explaining how flexible thinking and notions such as 'rule-independence' can apply to the opening too.
Watson presents a wide-ranging view of the way in which top-class players really handle the opening, rather than an idealized and simplified model. This volume, focusing on queen's pawn openings, is a book that will make chess-players think hard about how they begin their games. It also offers both entertainment and challenging study material in openings such as the Nimzo-Indian, King's Indian and the entire Queen's Gambit complex.
