A single-volume encyclopedic opening guide written for club-level players who want to understand the ideas behind every major chess opening.

Rather than burying the reader under endless variations, Paul van der Sterren explains the strategic ideas, typical plans and key moves for each opening. The resulting knowledge equips club players to handle the opening phase confidently up to a good club level, and provides a foundation on which a more sophisticated repertoire can later be built. Because the focus is on lasting principles, the material remains valid even as concrete theory evolves. Grandmaster Paul van der Sterren is a two-time Dutch champion who reached the Candidates stage of the World Chess Championship in 1993. He was a founding editor of New in Chess and has contributed over 150 opening surveys to its Yearbooks.
