Semi-Open Games

This volume contains all the Semi-Open Games except the Sicilian (which will fill the book The Complete Sicilian)

Ranging from the Scandinavian to the Nimzovich Defence, it covers the most important variations as well as the numerous subvariations of Alekhine's, French, Caro-Kann, and Pirc

Defence, and even includes a detailed analysis of Czech Defence, an opening which you would seek in vain in older books.

In all openings, typical and very instructive games help you to understand both the white and the black strategy. All through the book, sample games illustrated by many diagrams help you to better understand the openings just discussed.

You can also get a brief information on the history and the eponyms of the openings. And, as is customary with Attila Schneider, instruction is combined with entertainment, and this time, too, you can often enjoy his ironic humour.
