While serious work on chess openings confirms the basic truth that White can't simply force a large advantage from the start position, we can greatly narrow Black's path to safety, and tilt the practical struggle in our favour. To have a chance of half a point, our opponents will need to solve difficult tactical and strategic problems deep into the middlegame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe main lines recommended are: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiuoco Piano (via Bishop's Opening move-order)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eModern Advance Caro-Kann\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTarrasch French\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRossolimo and Moscow Sicilians, and 2...e6 3 c3\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTraditional main lines vs Scandinavian and Alekhine\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTricky piece-play options against the Pirc and Modern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14927259\"\u003eJames Rizzitano\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gambit Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.80w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911465744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911465740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-GAM\"\u003eGames \u0026amp; Activities\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-GAM001030\"\u003eChess\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-GAM\"\u003eGames \u0026amp; Activities\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-GAM001000\"\u003eBoard Games\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gambit Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42685818962157,"sku":"9781911465744","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_b7e75ace-aa06-46e7-9c3a-e939f485a6b8.jpg?v=1649771315","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/modern-chess-opening-repertoire-for-white-9781911465744","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
