Chess Opening Course

The book provides an analytical overview of all the main chess openings, illustrated with substantive games, including games from the very recent past.

Preference is given to those opening systems, variations, and moves that have withstood the most serious of all tests - the test of time. The new edition has been fundamentally revised and supplemented - significant changes have been made to the analytical part of the book, taking into account the latest achievements of modern chess theory. Special attention in the games section is given to the creativity of world champion Magnus Carlsen.

The book will help beginners master the intricacies of opening theory, and will also be useful for more experienced players.
