For most chess-players, opening study is sheer hard work. It is
hard to know what is important and what is not, and when specific
knowledge is vital, or when a more general understanding is
sufficient. Tragically often, once the opening is over, a player
won't know what plan to follow, or even understand why his pieces
are on the squares on which they sit. John Watson seeks to help
chess-players achieve a more holistic and insightful view of the
openings. In his previous books on chess strategy, he explained
vital concepts that had previously been the domain only of
top-class players. Here he does likewise for the openings,
explaining how flexible thinking and notions such as
'rule-independence' can apply to the opening too. Watson presents a
wide-ranging view of the way in which top-class players really
handle the opening, rather than an idealized and simplified model.
This volume, focusing on queen's pawn openings, is a book that will
make chess-players think hard about how they begin their games. It
also offers both entertainment and challenging study material in
openings such as the Nimzo-Indian, King's Indian and the entire
Queen's Gambit complex.
