Hi everyone!

I’d like to share a personal project I’ve been working on for quite some time: a chess openings book designed specifically for beginners and intermediate players who want to improve the opening phase without memorizing endless lines.

Here’s what you’ll find inside:

🔹 A clear explanation of the fundamental opening principles
🔹 Detailed analyses of 38 major openings with key ideas and typical plans
🔹 Statistics from millions of high-level games (as of 2025)
🔹 A structured, easy-to-follow format with diagrams
🔹 Focus on understanding why moves work, not just which moves to play

The book has been getting encouraging feedback so far.
If you’d like to take a look, here’s the link on Amazon:

If this book helps even one player improve their opening understanding, all the work was worth it! Feel free to ask me anything or share suggestions — I’m always happy to discuss chess.

Happy studying and good games!
