  Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The moves were taken from hundreds of thousands of games between masters, from published analysis in the Chess Informant since 1966, and then compiled by notable chess players.
Both the ECO and the Chess Informant are published by the Serbian company Šahovski informator (homepage).
These openings are typically provided in an ECO table that concisely presents the best opening lines.

 Mieses Opening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mieses Opening is a chess opening move 1.d3.
Kasparov correctly believed that the computer would play the opening poorly if it had to rely on its own skills rather than on its opening book, but the game was drawn.
It is considered an irregular opening, so it is classified under the A00 code in the Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings.

 Chess Informant Chess
The magazine’s colleagues were carefully examining the chess game in the past 30 years and they have recognized that the game improved more quantitatively than qualitatively: not in the intuitive game style played by the masters, but rather in the number of variants acquired by the masters.
Chess Informant is one of the leading Chess Publishers, which has been present in the world of chess since 1966.
The circulation of the Chess Informant was increasing by the speed of a mountain stream.

 Clemenz Opening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Clemenz Opening is a chess opening described in algebraic chess notation as 1.h3.
Like Anderssen's Opening, 1.a3, 1.h3 is a time-wasting move even though it does not do much destruction either.
It also leads to a slight weakening of the king's side, albeit not as severely as Grob's Attack, 1.g4, or Barnes Opening, 1.f3.

 Openings books (featuring NCO and Play The Open Games As Black)
You gather all the information that you can on an opening, preferably one you have played and understand, put it together in a short book which gives the most important variations and just a bit of explanation about what is going on, and suckers like me buy it.
We suckers need openings books to get a feel for an opening which is new to us, to make sure that we don’t fall behind modern theory on our favourite opening, or to explain why we keep getting rotten positions out of an opening that we cannot avoid.
The main examples are: Modern Chess Openings (MCO); the Informant-published Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings (ECO); Batsford Chess Openings (BCO); and now Nunn’s Chess Openings (NCO), written by a team led by, of course, John Nunn.
