Features: The opening of chess seems quite simple, but in reality, its variations are bottomless. In my personal opinion, to master the chess opening, apart from extensive practical experience, learning and studying the (actual games) of top players and predecessors in the chess world is extremely important. The opening details and patterns discussed in this book are the result of my summarizing, refining, and selecting from major chess tournaments over the years, combining my own learning, research, and practice. They possess a certain degree of universality, practicality, and reference value. If readers can benefit from this book, it will be my greatest honor.
Chess is the national essence of the Chinese nation, but its inventor remains unverified to this day. Since its inception, chess has spread from villages to cities, with chess activities persistently and widely conducted, deeply loved by the general public. Its extraordinary charm truly leaves one in awe. I first entered the world of chess with the basic rules like "horses move in a day, elephants in a field." Counting the years, it has been nearly two decades. From carefully reading chess books to diligently studying them, and later writing my own chess books, this marked a significant breakthrough in my chess journey. The purpose of writing chess books is to express my personal understanding of chess in written form, thereby contributing to improving the skills of chess enthusiasts and promoting the popularization of chess activities. The opening details and patterns discussed in this book are the result of the author's summarizing, refining, and selecting from major chess tournaments over the years, combining with personal learning, research, and practice, and possess a certain degree of universality, practicality, and reference value.
