Beating 1 E4 E5 by John Emms
Grandmaster John Emms presents a repertoire for White after 1 e4 e5, based on the Italian Game and the Bishop's Opening. The lines he recommends are built upon a sound yet aggressive system of development which can be deployed against virtually every Black defence. The emphasis is firmly on understanding and executing key positional and tactical ideas, rather than the arduous process of memorizing theory. Emms covers both the main variations and the tricky sidelines, and highlights crucial move-order subtleties.

"The material is what makes this book very goodEmms annotates 46 games to present the material. What set this apart for me is that as I read the material I felt as if the author was actually talking to me, trying to explain what bits and pieces are going into the choice of moves. There are notes that involve some calculation, a few are even somewhat involved. Yet it works well to make the system seem easy to use, if only the reader invests the time to go through it."
