Start every chess game with confidence!

The two greatest challenges for beginning chess players are not only to survive the opening phase but also to choose both appropriate attack and defense formations in the process. WINNING CHESS OPENINGS shows you how to do both. In Yasser Seirawan's entertaining easy-to-follow style you're shown formations that can be used with either White or Black pieces.

WINNING CHESS OPENINGS shows you how to:
• Build a safe house for a King
• Eliminate losses of 10 moves or fewer
• Utilize the elements of time force space and pawn structure
• Plan strategies based on time-tested opening principles of play
• Employ a defense for Black against any White opening
• Apply an opening for White used by world champions

WINNING CHESS OPENINGS will help you develop a solid understanding of opening principles that you can apply to every game you play without having to memorize a dizzying array of tedious and lengthy opening lines.
