Play 1 e4 e5:
A complete repertoire for Black
in the Open Games
by Nigel Davies
There is no doubt that playing the Open Games is one of Black's most reliable
and yet aggressive ways of meeting White's favourite opening move, 1 e4.
Experts also agree that playing these fundamental openings is a crucial step
in the development of a chess player, while moving up to the highest level it
provides the battleground for countless duals between the World's top
players. It's true that some Black players are put off by the seemingly endless
number of variations they can be faced with, as White can choose a between
the King's Gambit, Vienna Game, Scotch Opening, Bishop's Opening and a
number of wild and offbeat gambits. However, in Play 1 e4 e5! Nigel Davies
provides a complete answer to this perennial problem by offering a concise
and practical repertoire for the Black player, whilst crucially including a
dependable defence to the Ruy Lopez - White's most popular attacking try.
Davies is the perfect choice for this subject, having been battle-hardened by
years of international competition in these openings.
*A complete defence to 1 e4
*Written by a 1 e4 e5 expert
*All of White's tries are covered
*Includes White's main weapon, the Ruy Lopez
