In this book, prolific chess author Cyrus Lakdawala recommends a
repertoire for White players who like to open 1 e4. The repertoire
is based around two main themes: ----- 1. The suggested variations
for White are ones that rely far more on a generic understanding of
strategic ideas rather than the memorisation of reams of opening
theory. This explains the choice of the Bishop's Opening (handled
"Lopez-style") against 1...e5 and the Bb5 variations against the
Sicilian Defence. Both these lines are designed to create dynamic
and interesting middlegame positions rather than attempting to
score a quick knockout victory - a generally overambitious aim that
often backfires. ----- 2. The variations are chosen so that White
can gain space whenever possible. Therefore the Advance Variation
is recommended against the French Defence (1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 e5)
and also the Caro-Kann Defence (1 e4 c6 2 d4 d5 3 e5). The fact
that these lines often create similar middlegame structures is
helpful for general comprehension of White's plans. ----- If you
want to develop your repertoire with 1 e4 then this is the book for
you. ------ * Everything you need to know to open 1 e4 with
confidence --- * Solid, reliable systems that do not require a mass
of memorisation --- * Written by one of the world's leading chess
authors.
