Books
The books are separate achievements that can be obtained by playing specific openings.
You can check the Books page following the steps (starting in home page):
- mouseover Home menu -> click on Awards
- here you will find them all in Books section
There are 33 in total, for both white and black.
In order to obtain a book, not only you have to play the specific moves, but so does your opponent!
I've listed them in white and black categories down below, along with other details.
Note: you obtain the book after the game finishes.
They are alphabetically sorted and the format is: name of the book - name of the opening - moves required.
I've added links to the name of the openings so you can see other details about them.
