		Chess is one of the things in life that really excites me. Like basketball, chess elicits in me a joie de vivre that nothing else does.

		There were a couple of the now-familiar "encyclopedic" (lots and lots of opening variations in column/table format, each ending in an evaluation provided using symbolic notation) opening books kicking around on the market at that time, most notably Modern Chess Openings and Fine's Practical Chess Openings.
		I own a fairly extensive chess library of several hundred print books (along with several hundred electronic disks) and I bought a second copy of Chess Openings: Theory and Practice because my first had seen so much use that pages were starting to fall out of it -- that's how often I refer to it.
		Chess Openings: Theory and Practice was (and is) a thick book -- nearly eight hundred pages -- and books that size don't come cheap.

		Half of century ago, when apart from Hastings there were only two or three international tournaments a year, openings books were based, not on huge numbers of examples, but rather the main ideas from a few games by leading players.
		Its key quality, unique among openings books, is a system of elimination which helps the reader to find the critical lines in the midst of the abundance of information.
		The Small Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings is based on the same 500 fundamental codes and system of elimination but it's a fifth the length.

	A Beginner's Garden of Chess Openings
		The possible opening moves of chess have been extensively studied for hundreds of years, and many of these sequences have been given names to simplify discussion of a game.
		In all openings there is a struggle for key territory, in particular the center squares, and an effort to deploy pieces and pawns in useful positions.
		This opening is tricky to play and correct play of it is counter-intuitive (immediate center control is not a goal, since Black is trying to undermine that control).

	Chessville - Reviews - Chess Openings for Beginners - by Rev. Edward Ernest Cunnington - reviewed by Rick Kennedy
		Note that most of the openings in the e-book start 1.e4 e5 with a focus on the open game, and modern (or hypermodern) systems like the Nimzo-, King’s and Queen’s Indian defenses are absent.
		This opening is a good one for Black when he is receiving the odds of Queen's Knight, as the Queen cannot well be dislodged from d5.
		If you’re looking for opening resources for a motivated beginner, or a developing player, with words as well as lines of play, and you’re willing to put up with an old-fashioned paper and ink book, there has always been the classic book, Fine’s The Ideas Behind the Chess Openings, that delivers the goods.

		One of the advantages of software that consolidates a database with opening theory such as CO 2000 is that, at any point, the user can switch from the standard theory to the games database and immediately be given the capability of playing through complete games of the variation under examination.
		Although the opening theory might not be quite as extensive as that found in each of the five volumes of ECO, in the openings that I checked (a number of variations of the Sicilian; Ruy Lopez; certain Queen's Gambit lines, etc.), CO 2000 still did a commendable job of including most subvariations in similar detail.
		Much of the effectiveness of CO 2000 is contingent upon the capabilities of the underlying database program, Chess Assistant Opening (CAO), described in the accompanying manual as an "abridged version" of Chess Assistant.

		You have limited time to study chess and our ebooks can train you to play a grandmaster's opening repertoire in a fraction of the time you'd spend with a book or game database.
		This model of chess theory can include both the positions from master games as well as the positions that have already been worked out in chess theory.
		This way chances are good that your entire opening (and possibly the middlegame) are already part of the tree and you don't have to enter those moves again.
