1.e4! The Chess Bible

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

1.e4! The Chess Bible (in three volumes) is a complete and authoritative repertoire for White based on sound main lines and the latest cutting-edge analysis. Existing theory is revisited and expanded with several fresh ideas, novelties, and refutations which will appeal to dedicated 1.e4 players and theoreticians alike.

However, each section is also carefully designed to be easily digested by players of all standards, with an opening overview, illustrated diagrams of key concepts, and instructive and annotated games.

This book is an essential practical resource for any 1.e4 player and will greatly reward those who are looking to master their understanding of the open games.

The openings covered in this volume are:

  • The Scandinavian Defence
  • The Alekhine's Defence
  • The Nimzowitsch Defence
  • The Pirc & Modern Defences
  • The Philidor Defence
