Karpov and Dzindzichashvili Teaches Chess Opening Fundamentals

In the below excerpt from Volume 1 "Opening Fundamentals" Karpov and Dzindzichashvili break down the basics of playing chess openings for beginner players, specifically examining main lines in the Ruy Lopez and Scotch Opening. The Grandmasters emphasize controlling the center squares (e4, d4, e5, d5) and active development of minor pieces in the opening, while being careful not to make too many pawn moves. Karpov's incredibly deep understanding of chess combined with GM Dzindzichashvili's vast experience in chess coaching makes the "Russian School of Chess" a truly unforgettable chess training experience.
