Understand the strategic principles that underpin successful opening play.Success in the opening depends far more on understanding than on memorizing variations. In this instructive book, Swedish grandmaster Johan Hellsten sets out the strategic principles that guide play in the first phase of the game: rapid and purposeful development, the fight for the centre, choosing the right pawn structure, restraining the opponent's plans and steering the game into a favourable middlegame. A worthy companion to his acclaimed Mastering Chess Strategy, it is packed with well-chosen examples and a large number of exercises that let the reader put the ideas into practice. Johan Hellsten is a grandmaster and an experienced trainer.
