Title: Winning in the Opening by John Walker ISBN: 1-85744-200-8 Publisher: Everyman Chess Pub. Date: November, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $14.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (2 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: A great first opening book for beginners
Comment: I was a bit disappointed when I finally received it. I expected something that would help me to spot general mistakes in blitz games, but take my word for it, it's for the individuals who seek a book about basic traps in the king pawn games and beginning opening guidelines (castle early, advance only the center pawns, etc).
Nevertheless, it is an excellent and helpful book for the beginning individuals. It emphasizes the important concepts and the format is easy to read. It also tells of possible mistakes in the opening and how to basically take advantage of them. If this were the first opening book I read, I would be a better player today. This book is also recommended for those who teach chess, as it could serve as a reference book.

Summary: A Great Tactics Book For Opening Play
Comment: This is the natural follow-on to Mr. Walker's OPENINGS FOR JUNIORS. This work includes 34 well annotated short games (fewer than 25 moves) which illustrate the teaching points in the first part of the book. An additional aid is the variety of openings and defenses these games present.
If a serious student of chess, with a rating below 1500, were to study the games you will be prepared for most tournament competition with the one glaring exception -- the Evan's Gambit. While not seen in every tournament, enough people still use this opening to have warranted it's inclusion.
Still, the book is well worth the money to purchase and the time to study.
