Book Description
The two greatest challenges for beginning chess players are not only to survive the opening phase, but also to choose appropriate attack and defense formations in the process. WINNING CHESS OPENINGS shows readers how to do both. In Seirawan's entertaining, easy-to-follow style, readers are shown formations that can be used with either White or Black pieces--a unique concept in chess books.

WINNING CHESS OPENINGS shows beginning chess players how to: Build a safe house for a king Eliminate losses of ten moves or fewer Utilize the elements: time, force, space, and pawn structure Plan strategy based on pawn structure Employ a defense for Black against any White opening Apply an opening for White used by World Champions

Readers will develop a solid understanding of opening principles that they can apply to every game they play-without having to memorize a dizzying array of tedious and lengthy opening lines.
