This book helps the less experienced player to choose openings which they will find suitable to their personal needs.  It will lead them to a greater understanding of the themes of attack and defence in all the major openings which they are likely to encounter.

This is leavened with practical advice. This basic groundwork is essential for any player who wishes to achieve any measure of success in their chess career.
