Product Description
A major new title from Gambit Publications Ltd. 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 wont know what plan to follow, or even understand why his pieces are on the squares on which they sit. With this book 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, and did so in ways that have enabled them to enter the general chess consciousness of club players. Here he does likewise for the openings, explaining how flexible thinking and notions such as rule-independence can apply to the opening. 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 is a book that will make chess-players think hard about how they begin their games, while offering both entertainment and challenging material for study.

Not really mastering the openings.......2007-09-12
John Watson seems to have quite a cult following, and to a point I agree he is unique and insightful. One must appreciate an author who gives their opinion and deep research - that is why you pay for the book. However, I believe the title misses the point, and a couple of openings.
A book that covers the Giuoco Piano, Ruy Lopez, Two Knights Defense, Philidor bypasses the Scotch and Petrov. My database gives the Petrov as the second most common response after 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3, and Scotch as the third most common after 2. ...Nc6. Heck, even the King's Gambit gets seven pages.
This is a good book, with tons of insights into the openings and positions covered, as well as a long overview of the goals of the opening and positional considerations. However, it has several large gaps, and can't be used as an openings reference by itself.
Outstanding book.......2007-07-05
The author explains several opening lines from a strategic point of view, and not only by giving variants. This book is both useful and entertaining.
Great Opening Primer.......2007-07-03
If you're a club player looking for a good starting point to actually understand the ideas behind the e4 openings, this is it. It may not go as deep as the standards like the Batsford/Modern/Nunn's Chess Opening manuals, but it's really not meant to. While there's a place for the more technical manuals listed above, they can be overwhelming to a club player. Watson goes out of makes the openings approachable & understandable, as well as giving some additional ideas you can expand on by yourself.
After you've read this and vol 2 of the series (about d4 openings), you should be able to learn enough to get a feel for openings that fit your style and expand your collection into specific opening guides if you feel you need to.
Highly recommended.
Book Title Tells All.......2007-05-30
Another great work by one of the best chess authors in the business. For selfish reasons I wish he could have tackled more variations and more games, but, hey, I understand the Mr. Watson has other books to write. The book definitely gives a great understanding in words and analysis of modern approaches by some of the most novel thinkers in the game today concerning popular openings. Can't wait for Volume II!
BEST OPENINGS BOOK EVER!.......2007-05-11
I am only an amateur chess player, but this book helped me more than any other that I've ever read. The basic ideas in the first three chapters made it easy to advance to the instructive and well-written chapters that follow. Instead of these books with rows and rows of moves I found one clear explanation after another. Yet the author also gives plenty of solid variations to build a repertoire around. It's the best of both worlds. You'll love this book!
Customer Reviews:
Most Excellent Work!!.......2007-07-20
First, I must confess that I have only read the chapters on the Queen's Gambit Declined and the King's Indian Defense.
Queen's Gambit Declined chapter
He gives detailed descriptions of the major themes of both the classical and exchange variations. I especially liked his discussion of the Tartakower Defense. I found his discussion of move orders to be quite interesting, subtle and useful.
I should mention that the section, "Declining the Gambit; Other Second Moves", provides important information about the Marshall Defense, Baltic Defense, Albin Counter Gambit and Tchigorin Defense. In my view, the entire Queen's Gambit chapter is a "must read" for anyone who plays this opening or for all players who really wants to deepen their chess knowledge.
King's Indian Defense chapter
I have played the Strongpoint Variation (page 208) for many years but was not aware of many of the themes in this line. Watson's clearly describes various strategies that Black has used against 8.Be3, 8.Re1, and 8.d5. Again, a "must read" in my opinion.
To conclude, as always, Watson has a wonderful knack for describing specific strategies of openings and their variations while also providing interesting example games that illustrate these strategies.
Masterful.......2007-07-20
Well, I followed my own advice and got this book, even though I haven't
played 1.d4 in about 20 years. I wasn't disappointed. Just as in
Volume 1, this book is full of good practical knowledge and deep
insights, tying the 1.d4 openings to fundamental principles, and to
important concrete ideas. Through the theme of "cross-pollination,"
we can see the give and take between different opening systems. As
always with Watson, it is also beautifully written and a pleasure to
read. This book helps me to prepare lessons for my students, and who
knows, maybe I'll dust off that Queen's Gambit sometime.
Finally!.......2007-07-18
This is the book I've been waiting for. The usual approach to chess openings is to memorize piles and piles of endless variations, and hope to outbook your opponent. But we all realize how futile and unsatifsying that really is. Finally we have a book here that truly explains the ideas behind the moves. It also explains why certain moves are not played. It connects different openings to each other, so that you know what to do when your opponent inevitably veers away from theory. And furthermore, it helps you to handle tricky move-orders, which were always confusing to me before. With this book and his Strategy books, I think I'm starting to understand chess.

Mastering the Spanish.......2007-09-03
A "CLASSIC" One of the very best books on explaning the
Ruy Lopez opening..
Other authors should learn from this style.......2005-03-05
//
I hope this under-appreciated book does Not go out of print.
This book deserves 4-5 stars. I am giving it 5 because it is as innovative as any chess opening book I have ever seen.
The chapter names will give you a feeling for the relatively innovative approach of these two authors:
1. Tension in the Centre
2. The Blocked Centre
3. The Exchange Centre
4. The Mobile Centre
5. The Little Centre
6. The Open Centre
7. The Marshall Centre
8. The Fischer Centre
9. The Schliemann (Jaenisch) Centre
10. The Bird Centre
Table of Variations
If you are interested in the Ruy Lopez gambit or "open" variation (5...Nf6:e4), you will eventually figure out it is covered in the chapter "The Open Centre".
If you are interested in the variation 3...Bf8c5, you will learn it is partly covered in chapter 1, continued in chapter 4, ch 6, and finally ch 9. Hummm, good and bad.
The glaring weakness of this book concerns the inadequate "Table of Variations". It is only a few pages long, skimpy, and it is an eye-sore. For instance, some variations are listed starting with move 6, and reading the table to figure out which moves 1-5 it relates to is like reading a bus schedule.
But even this section shows innovative intent, by rating each chunk of variations in win-loss-draw percentages, strategy numeric ratings and tactical numeric ratings, and relative frequencies. Opening books need MCO-ish tables of moves, sorted the way Eric Schiller sorted opening variations in his physically huge book Standard Chess Openings: a powerful presentation, like what we get from computer databases. If I cannot quickly lookup a variation in the book, its practical value to a weekend warrier like me is significantly reduced. The move tables were not the problem with MCO, it was their utter lack of textual explanation for each line that has caused that style to fall out of favor. But the newer styles have thrown out the good with the bad.
The book has many diagrams. These are smartly chosen, and they are illustrated with arrows that accurately map to the nearby explanatory text: very nice. I have seen somewhat similar books, and they trumpet the style by labeling it the "Read and Play" method. Here authors King & Ponzetto have outperformed the other authors that have tried to utilize this style.
The usage of center pawn structure types to organize the whole book is innovative. However, without the MCO-ish move tables, this book cannot serve low rated players (below USCF 1500). The is great info in this book, and lots of explanations of plans. How can anyone say Reuben Fine's good book about the "ideas behind the openings" really has the ideas when one has been spoiled by this book -- there is no comparison! If Fine's book deserves 4.5/5.0 stars, then this book deserves 11.5/5.0 stars.
The drawback of this book makes mining the great info in this book real hard work. An above average memory will help you too. It seems odd to hear myself say that an extra good memory is important when reading a book that delivers the conceptual ideas of an opening in clear rich explanatory text complete with arrowed diagrams; yet who among us amateurs can seriously hope to remember 248 pages of explanations of 10 different game types? Chess is a hard game.
Perhaps the "mistake" of this book is in devoting this style to such a difficult opening. The Ruy Lopez is more complex than most openings, so this book has more ground to cover than most people have time to study this deeply. I would like to see these two authors write a similar book on say the Petroff / Russian Defense, maybe narrowing their focus down to one 3rd White move per book (e.g. 3. Nf3:e5).
It seems a shame that those mediocre EveryMan opening books sell by the boat load, while the excellence of this book goes unnoticed. EveryMan must be succeeding by keeping the info it presents to a minimum, so as not to overwhelm its customers and make them feel bad -- instead they leave them wanting more info.
Thank you.

Covers some bad openings.......2007-09-20
I really enjoyed reading this book. It covers most queenside openings and gives great insight as to what to do for that particular opening. If you want to play queenside openings get this book.
There are few problems though. It covers a few openings that are not very strong or unsound. For instance, Benko Gambit, Benoni, which isn't blacks best response to d4, Dutch and Torre Attack. All that I mentioned are playable, but they are not the best openings and you are not going to see them that often. I've played thousands of games online and over the board and I have seen the Dutch twice, Torre Attack about 3 times Benoni only when I played it and I've never had someone play the Benko Gambit against me.
Other thing is opening theory is wishy washy. What was playable in 1991 maybe not be played now. So this book is out dated. I am sure the information in this book is usable no matter what but after time GM's turn to different variations. Which makes the opening even more complicated if you want to keep up with the time. The best thing to do is to find openings and variations to that opening that you are comfortable with and play them no matter what the current feeling is about that opening or the variation of that opening.

A Wonderful collection of annotated games by Mednis.......2007-06-25
I just finished working through this book last night. I haven't read through many game collections yet (I have many to go on my list), but this book was pure joy to read. Mednis' annotations and in particular his explanation of each sides plans make this book worth a lot more than Dover charges for it.
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a game collection that does a good job explaining the moves and plans involved in the games.
Super!!!.......2006-01-31
This is an excellent book. It shows you the battle plans in the main closed systems and gave you a lot of advice about how to play the middlegame and the endgame.
Maybe the most important subject is the move order in the opening so you'll never be playing what your oponent want to play.
Este libro es excelente. No solo te enseña las ideas y planes en cada uno de los principales sistemas cerrados, tambien te da consejos sobre el medio juego y sobre los finales que difícilmente los encontrarás en otros libros.
Además, y quizas lo más importante, es que trata el tema del orden de movidas en la apertura, para que no quedes jugando lo que tu adversario quiere.
Absolute gem on strategic way of taught.......2004-12-29
Mednis wrote a real joy for every chess player who wants to reasure himself about plans in closed positions. If one dont play d4 as white, he would find a lot of material from the black side of board. In some critical moments author devotes virtually the whole page just to explain a future plans. Fantastic for everyone unsure in kind of way to play transition from opening to middlegame. This is for sure one of the most important books ever written about early middlegame plans after 1.d4 (thanks god, its algebraic notation)
Understanding Chess Move by Move for d4 players........2004-04-20
This book is highly instructional. It covers all the major openings that White faces when starting out with d4 with a minimum of one game per opening line and a maximum of three. It covers the strategies and themes of the openings, along with deeply annotated games move by move showing strategies for both the white and black pieces. It does not overwhelm the reader with tons and tons of variatons but explains each concept in sentences with adequate analysis to back it up. This book was written 10-15 years ago, but the strategies and concepts are still applicable today for these openings. It is good as an instructional book to play through high class master games.

Best book available on the KID for players up to 2000 USCF.......2001-04-03
This book is absolutely excellent - it is a shame that it is out of print.
The book features a rather unique approach to learning the opening - pawn structure. Each chapter focuses on a different characteristic structure arising out of each of the major variations ; saemisch, classical, orthodox, yugoslav, panov, four pawns, averback, etc. etc.
Each pawn structure is carefully dissected as to where the optimal piece placement is, typical and recurring themes and ideas, and finally any tactical motifs that are regular.
Each chapter concludes with a couple of Grandmaster level games illustrating the material covered.
At the end of the book ,there is a statistical survey of each variation, it strategic and tactical complexity, and its tournament results in master level play.
If you play the KID, or would like to, grab this book wherever you can!!
Learn openings by structure, not moves........2000-02-22
I own the series of Mastering the Openings books - on the King's Indian, the Benoni/Benko Gambit, the Spanish, the French, and the Nimzoindian - and love them. The only one I can criticize is the one on the Nimzo, by Tony Kosten. He doesn't break the structures down the same way the other books do. The others, this one included, teach the openings based on the central pawn structure, which is what guides the middlegame plans. Developing players (under 2000 ELO) will find these books very helpful in understanding these openings.
An excellent overview of the KID for club players.......1998-08-24
It's unfortunate that this book is no longer readily available because this is the way the openings should be taught to club players. Rather than give numerous variations or even annotated games, Bellin & Ponzetto give schematic intros to annotated games that illustrate strategic and tactical themes in the major variations of the KID (and not divided up by the variation's name, but by its pawn structure). I personally found this extremely effective and wish similar books were published in all my openings. Books like this are timeless and need to be reprinted often because they focus on ideas, not the latest theory. I do not own the other two books in this series on the Benoni and the Spanish (I play neither), but I have seen them and they, too, are very good. If you see them, buy them.

Good for beginning and low level club players........2004-10-31
This book gives a nice survey of today's most popular openings, with tips on planning and strategy for both white and black. For a book of this size (176 pages), obviously each opening is covered very briefly. A player looking to build or change his opening repetoire may find this book useful in deciding which opening to choose. But to 'master' any opening, the player will need to go get a few more detailed books. Hence the title is very inappropriate - maybe something like 'Introduction to Modern Chess Openings' would have been more fitting.
some useful guidance for club players.......2004-04-12
Openings covered are Sicilian (Sveshnikov, Scheveningen, Dragon, Taimonov, Closed and c3 systems); Spanish (main line with Be7 after a6/b5); French (Winawer, Tarrasch, Advance); Caro-Kann (main line and Advance); Alekhine, Center-Counter, and Pirc/Modern; King's Indian (main line, Saemisch, Four-Pawn attack); Nimzo-Indian, Queen's Indian, Bogo-Indian; Queen's Gambit Declined, Slav, Semi-Slav; Queen's Gambit Accepted; Gruenfeld; Dutch; English
......(Note: there just isn't enough in this book on the double king pawn openings if that's what you are looking for)
.....So that's what he writes about. Each opening is discussed under the headings 1) What is white's strategy? 2) What is black's strategy? 3) Tactical/strategic/dynamic? 4) Theoretical? 5) How popular is it? (and Annoted Illustrative games follow).
.....I find these headings interesting and basically helpful. 1) and 2) give you a sense of what the opening is all about. 3) gives you a sense of what kind of typical positions arise out of the opening. 4) is a nice addition and lets you know what how much you need to worry about booked-up opponents (or not...sometimes he is confident that you won't need loads of theory to play a variation well). 5) is interesting just for showing whether an opening is played much or not, or sometimes whether you see it more frequently or less frequently at club level vs. master level.
.....I found the book helpful to me because he explained some basic stuff to me that gave me some confidence in my games. For instance, I'd been experimented with 2.c3 in the Sicilian and finding the games more tactical than I'd expected. Jacobs pointed out in this book that in the c3 sicilian white usually plays for active piece play with an open center...which encouraged me to think more about having active pieces as I play than nursing central pawns. I also found myself being encouraged on the black side to try the sveshnikov, which I'd always avoided because black's pawn structure looks so bad...Jacobs made it clear that black basically accepts the weak pawn structure in return for active play...so again, instead of wondering what "grandmasterly" strategic ideas were embedded in this strange pawn formation, I realized I simply should be looking for active piece play! I think little pointers like this are a nice help, like having an IM give you a little advice over a cup of coffee.
.....Yes, the book suffers for lack of comprehensive detail. But I think it still is useful for giving you some basic knowledge about openings that you are actually likely to face at a club level. This book is an encouragement to get a little sense of what an opening is about and then go try it. And if he has recommended that you have a little theoretical knowledge in a particular line you like, then you can go fill in as needed. I like that style.
....Note: Everybody knows that amateur players spend way too much time studying openings! ...this book helps you get some opening knowledge without falling into that trap!
New standards in presenting ideas in chess?.......2002-06-30
I was quite amazed when I got this book. The presentation at amazon.com said it used 'revolutionary' new layout to present the ideas behind the openings. It turned out the revolution consists of a systematic listing of issues like "what is white's strategy", "what is black's strategy", "is the opening tactical/positional/dynamical". Is there really any other way of presenting openings? If it is indeed true that this is the first book to employ such a systematic presentation of ideas and thoughts, it clearly defends its label as revolutionary.
Having said that, the format of the book is too small. Within the hundred or so pages, there is not enough room to elaborate on the ideas. First, not enough openings have been evaluated. Second, the evaluations merely consist of lists of moves. I also read Jerry Silman's "How to Reassess your Chess", and I would really have liked to see the various positions evaluated with respect to Silman's imbalances.
All in all, I think the largest impact of this book will be that other authors get ideas on how to present and compare ideas in systematic manners in future books. Or it may be that I am just not ready for the material presented here.
A superbly presented "how to" title.......2002-03-26
The opening phase of chess receives strong attention in Mastering The Opening, a superbly presented "how to" title devoted to dealing with every major opening. Chess players will enjoy the attention to numerous thematic games and a layout which requires basic chess knowledge but still proves easy to understand.

Good, Interesting ... I'd really say three and a half stars.......2007-08-10
This is my first Dan Kennedy book and I thought it a slightly better than the average book in the "wealth attraction" genre.
The chapters are short, sweet and to the point. There is a lot in the book that makes sense or, at least, resonated with me true or plausible. As with most books about wealth attraction, Dan Kennedy uses a lot of anecdotes about people who have "made it" by using the methods described in the book. He also offers advice that contradicts the conventioanl wisdom which I found refreshing.
It is obvious that he's read the genre and knows what advice is in other books. So, in some cases, he flat out says their stuff doesn't work and his stuff does. Fos some reason, that approach appealed to me.
Of course, the book is sprinkled liberally throughout with directions to go to his various websites to connect with his free newsletter or not-so-free programs and books. There are also the requisite stories in the back of the book by his proteges and buddies sharing how they became millionaires and, oh yeah, you can become one, too, if you connect with thier websites and programs.
I like Dan's writing style and a lot of his advice. A lot has been written about before so it's not a 5 star but definitely worth the price of the book.
NO B.S. - Dan Kennedy is a the best.......2007-08-08
Great book! Dan Kennedy is an absoulute craftsman with words. Look forward to reading the other B.S. series books.
Adjust your attitude and Take Action !!!.......2007-07-13
This book is all about the way you think.
Money, actions that you take, people that you hang around with are all discussed.
It's not one of those "If you dream or constantly think about it then it will happen" type of books.
I started putting into practice some of the ideas Dan discusses even before I finished the book and immediately saw results. A lot of the ideas I had known in the back of my mind but reading them coaxed me into taking action on them and not just thinking about them.
You know a book is good when it helps you before you get through reading it.
Some of the highlights are
* Don't wait till you get all your ducks in a row..start NOW, you can make course corrections as you progress and learn.
*Make sure you do at least one thing a day to keep the pipeline of future income filled.
* Don't just think in terms of daily transactions but also the value of future business.
* Get rid of negative people that hang around you. Dan gives them a great label of Wealth Blockers.
* Hope is not a strategy... is this not one of the truest things that you have ever heard and yet we all know people that live with no real plans of how to achieve success.
I could go on but if you combine this book with No B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs (No B.S. Series) you will have a one-two punch that will put you miles ahead of the competition.
All of Dan's no B.S, books are not of the same level of quality, but I think this is the best one of the bunch.
If you have read this far then you need to take action. Buy this book along with Dan's Time Management and put what they teach into practice.
Kennedy's Time Management will show you how to get rid of the Time Vampires so that you can put the business advice he dispenses in this book to use.
Just knowing stuff is useless unless you put it to use. There is a phrase that NLP people will recognize called congruence... your actions and thoughts must be aligned to produce results.
By reading the various reviews you have shown that you are interested in achieving success as an entrepreneur. Now you must make your actions match your thoughts and get the info that is contained in this book.
Its cost is much less than a single night out and it will alter the way you act and think for the rest of your life. that's a pretty good bargain by any measure.
This is the Bible of No B.S. Books.......2007-07-04
Read the book cover to cover on a recent flight to Las Vegas.
Every word rings true. For readers who are sick of reading about "being passionate" about your business, and all of the other "feel good" books on the shelves right now, this is a must read.
I would go so far as to say that there is not 1 word in this book that is not on point. No fluff, no filler.
Just as the title states... No B.S.
Beyond the Myth of Attraction.......2007-03-19
Let's get the basics out of the way. (1) This book is full of self-promotion; (2) Kennedy can be offensive, irritating and arrogant;(3) Kennedy has helped create more than 100 millionaires and knows whereof he speaks in terms of wealth creation; (4)some or all of this information can be found in other books--but you just don't find it condensed and targeted like this. There is a lot of hype out there today about "focusing on a goal" and it somehow magically will be drawn to you. Kennedy says that defining and focusing on a goal is critical, but if you want to attract wealth into your life, you must consider your beliefs about wealth, your strategies to bring wealth into your life and your behaviors in implementing those strategies. So, think beliefs, behaviors and strategies. Most of us have unconscious beliefs about money (it is limited, it has to be hard earned) that get in our way of making it, and most of us don't have behavior congruent with our desire to attract wealth--that is, congruent with the behavior of those who have already attracted wealth. The book is really only 167 pages--26 "Wealth Magnets."(That's really all you need to read and re-read.) The rest is info from successful entrepreneurs and Kennedy's recommended resources. Read it or not, Kennedy will say he doesn't care. He has put the information into the universe and now its up to you. Thirteen bucks and a couple hours of your time might show you something you don't know. To be honest, Kennedy frequently ticks me off with his over the top no BS attitude, but you cannot argue with his results--or his comprehensive, no nonsense approach to wealth attraction. One final thought. The book is only 13 bucks because it is partially a marketing mechanism--he wants you as a customer so the book is cheap knowing the long term value of anyone who joins his Kennedy Inner Circle. But that is a marketing lesson and a wealth creation strategy, isn't it?
