While writing this repertoire and analyzing the lines in it, one of the author's main intentions was to recommend lines that are relatively fresh and has been tried in a few games rather than suggesting lines that have been played in hundreds and thousands of games and given in many books written on repertoires against the English opening.īy learning some new and rarely played lines, we also carry an element of surprise.
#MODERN CHESS OPENINGS 16 HOW TO#
For King's Gambit the best book right now (my opinion, but there really are not many books) is probably GM Shaw's 'The King's Gambit', which covers the opening for White and Black with many alternatives, but does not cover the Bishop's Gambit, except for how to play. Subsequent editions were written or edited by others as the tradition passed down. It has been the standard English language work on openings for almost a century - the first edition came out in 1911, written by Griffith and White. We start this chapter with a few games with the Modern Defence. Modern Chess Openings (MCO) is a one-volume reference book covering all the chess openings. Also, as you will witness, symmetrical English is a solid reply to 1.c4. Sadly you have to pick what openings you are interested in and buy books for specific openings to get good content (costly). The main point is that the opening is quite flexible. It is catching up with moves like 1.d4 and 1.e4.1.c4 also provides many opportunities to transpose to other openings in 1.d4, for example, the Catalan Defence.īy playing the Symmetrical English starting with 1.c5 in response to 1.c4, we cut many of White's options to transpose to 1.d4 openings. 1.c4 has gained a lot of popularity these days. This Set includes five excellent programs for five popular openings : Sicilian Defence (for download) French Defence (for download) Kings Indian Defence (for download) Slav Defence (for download) 1 Nc6 (for download) Each program includes : - theoretic material that focuses.
