5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful insight into chess openings, 29 Jul 2002
By A Customer
Raymond Keene, OBE, chess grandmaster and correspondant for The Times, takes the reader through contrasting approaches to chess openings and the start of a game. Ever wondered about the strongest way to open a game? Keene expertly answers all such concerns.

5.0 out of 5 stars Synopsis, 6 Jul 2007
In this stimulating modern classic, Grandmaster Ray Keene investigates the view that there is a polarity in modern chess. On the one hand are those who systematically analyse forcing openings, such as the Sicilian Defence, hoping to find the philosopher's stone of absolute truth. On the other are those who deliberately select offbeat openings, in the hope of throwing well booked-up opponents off the scent. Are both approaches valid? Find out and improve your results.
Raymond Keene is a British Chess Champion, and the first British Player to achieve a FIDE (World Chess Federation) Grandmaster norm. He was awarded the OBE for services to chess in 1985. He is Chess Correspondent of The Times, The Sunday Times, The Spectator, and The International Herald Tribune. He is a prolific author of chess books, several of which are classics of the genre. He has organised three World Chess Championships.

5.0 out of 5 stars fascinating ideas about the chess openings, 12 Nov 2002
By A Customer
grandmaster ray keene who wrote this book is a noted theoretician who assisted korchnoi in his world championship bid.in this book he examines two types of opening-highly theoretical variations which place a high premium on memory-the type favoured by kasparov-and offbeat sytems which can be learnt strategically but which aim to throw the opponent onto his own resources.these are the kinds of openings favoured for example by bent larsen. try out both and see which type brings you most points!
