Modern Opening Chess Strategy Paperback / softback
by Harry Golombek
Paperback / softback
Description
All too often chess openings books consist of reams of variations and sub-variations and bracketed sub-sub-variations, with no apparent explanation for why a move is chosen or why one path deserves precedence over another.
Golombek fought tenaciously against this denigration of his art, for he considered chess an art form.
The Grandmaster Emeritus always sought to explain the ideas behind the moves and give the strategic justification for any course of action.
For this reason alone Golombek's chief openings manual, reprinted here, will outlive the ephemera which largely characterise rival efforts to explain the entire gamut of openings available to the ambitious player.
Armed with Golombek you will understand what you are doing -not just become a performing monkey which apes the movements of the masters!
