They include the main alternative responses and give clear indications for further study. This thorough, understandable, and very readable manual gives you a foundation on which to build your repertoire.

Revue de presse

Full of great ideas, clear explanations and instructive games. --GM Paul Motwani, The Scotsman

When you open this fat paperback for the first time, 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 learns 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
