Description: Modern Chess Opening Repertoire for White by James Rizzitano Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A practical guide in how to begin a game of chess, based on studying the choices made by current top players. This includes general preferences and well as specific moves, such as keeping a safe king and seizing any space advantage. His choices are supported by detailed work with the current top computer engines that use neural network assessments. Publisher Description James Rizzitanos goal in this book is to provide you with a one-volume, theoretically sound, dynamic opening repertoire beginning with 1 e4.Studying the choices of the current top players, he identifies these secrets of their success: Play openings where you have a relatively safe king.Take the bishop-pair in a semi-open position if it is offered to you.Avoid creating unnecessary weaknesses in your own position.Accept questionable gambits and material sacrifices.Absorb any space advantage conceded by the opponent. His choice of lines to recommend is based on these principles, and supported by detailed work with the current top computer engines. While serious work on chess openings confirms the basic truth that White cant simply force a large advantage from the start position, we can greatly narrow Blacks path to safety, and tilt the practical struggle in our favour. To have a chance of half a point, our opponents will need to solve difficult tactical and strategic problems deep into the middlegame.The main lines recommended are: Giuoco Piano (via Bishops Opening move-order)Modern Advance Caro-KannTarrasch FrenchRossolimo and Moscow Sicilians, and 2...e6 3 c3Traditional main lines vs Scandinavian and AlekhineTricky piece-play options against the Pirc and Modern Author Biography International Master James Rizzitano dominated New England chess from 1976 to 1989, winning 157 of 336 events in which he competed.
