Revue de presse

An excellent resource for the club player just starting out and seeking a useful guide to d4 openings that explains the ideas behind each move for both sides. It's also great for any player wanting to improve their understanding of d4 openings and increase their opening repertoire (..) I can't wait to get the other three volumes. --T.Edward Tanoi, New Zealand Chess Magazine

You will be surprised: colour! Compared with this, books from Everyman, Gambit or Olms look like black-and-white television (..) Not only is the main line explained and the reader made hungry for more, but he gets enough strategic knowledge and insider-tips to get, even if he plays the opening for the first time, into the middlegame safely --Erik Rausch, Rochade Europa Magazine

It gives an outline of each opening and major variation in turn, explaining the ideas and most popular choices for the benefit of elementary players. The reviewer was impressed by the practical advice given in the notes in this well-produced volume. --British Chess Magazine
