Back to Basics: Chess Openings

Carsten Hansen leverer en utmerket innføringsbok i åpningsspill. Etter en innledning om egne tidligere erfaring og et kapittel om prinsipper for åpningsspillet, går han i tur og orden gjennom hovedideene i de viktige åpningene.

Den erfarne dansk-amerikanske sjakkforfatteren har laget en praktisk bok særlig for spillere innen rating omlag 800 - 1600 som ikke kan mye om sjakkåpninger fra før. Carsten Hansen gir ut denne nyutgaven av boka på eget forlag.

Til slutt gis gode råd i avslutningskapitlet "Where do I go from here?" i tillegg til et nyttig register.
