A streamlined opening repertoire for White based on 1.e4, focused on clarity of ideas and practicality.

Sam Collins offers a coherent set of lines that lead to positions with distinct character: White generally gets a slight space advantage, sharp attacking chances, or a clear strategic plan. The chosen systems sidestep the deepest main lines so the reader can spend less time memorizing and more time understanding. Illustrative games emphasize the key themes, including White's many opportunities to forcibly weaken and attack the black king. The specific analysis is up-to-the-minute and features ideas that have proven their worth in grandmaster play. Irish international master Sam Collins won the championship of his home country in 2002 and 2014, represented Ireland in numerous Olympiads, and is an experienced chess teacher and writer.
