Building and maintaining an opening repertoire can be a demanding
task -- for a start there are an enormous number of different lines
to choose from. There's a strong temptation amongst beginners and
improving players to opt solely for tricky lines in order to snare
unsuspecting opponents, but this approach has only short-term
value. As players improve and their opponents become stronger, very
often these crafty lines don't stand up to close scrutiny, and
suddenly they back to square one with no suitable opening weapons.
In Starting Out with 1 e4! and Starting Out with 1 d4! Neil
McDonald and John Cox solve this perennial problem by providing the
reader with a strong and trustworthy repertoire with the white
pieces based on the popular opening moves 1 e4 and 1 d4. The
recommended lines given here have stood the test of time and are
regularly employed by Grandmasters. Reading these books will give
players the confidence to play these variations against all
strengths of player and provides them with reliable opening armoury
for years to come.
These books are written in Everyman Chess's distinctive Starting
Out style, with plenty of notes, tips, and warnings throughout to
help the aspiring player.
