The Opening in Chess by Raymond Keene and David Levy is a comprehensive and practical guide to chess opening play, designed to help players understand both the principles and specific systems that shape the start of a game.
The book emphasizes fundamental opening principles such as rapid development, control of the center, king safety, and efficient piece coordination, while also explaining how these ideas translate into real opening choices.
Keene and Levy present a wide survey of major opening families, including open games, semi-open defenses, and closed systems, giving readers a broad understanding of how different setups arise from common ideas.
The material is supported by illustrative games and structured explanations, making complex opening theory easier to follow and apply in practical play.
Rather than focusing on memorization, the book encourages conceptual understanding and decision-making at the board, helping players navigate unfamiliar positions confidently.
A strong resource for club players, improving tournament competitors, and serious students of the game, especially those building a solid and flexible opening repertoire.
Condition: Hard Cover, Good condition.
