Chess Opening Essentials
Most opening books are either too detailed or too shallow. Chess Opening Essentials, fresh in from the printers, has exactly the right balance.
GM's Djuric & Komarov and IM Pantaleoni have created a prize-winning book which is an accessible primer and a reference work at the same time. This 360-page book:
- helps beginners to develop a solid understanding of fundamental opening ideas
- gives casual players the ability to choose the opening that suits their style and taste
- is a tool for club players to test and review their opening repertoire
- is a reference book to which advanced players keep returning.
Peter Doggers joined a chess club a month before turning 15 and still plays for it. He used to be an active tournament player and holds two IM norms. Peter has a Master of Arts degree in Dutch Language & Literature. He briefly worked at New in Chess, then as a Dutch teacher and then in a project for improving safety and security in Amsterdam schools. Between 2007 and 2013 Peter was running ChessVibes, a major source for chess news and videos acquired by Chess.com in October 2013. As our Director News & Events, Peter writes many of our news reports. In the summer of 2022, The Guardian’s Leonard Barden described him as “widely regarded as the world’s best chess journalist.”
Peter's first book The Chess Revolution is out now!
