Build a safe house for a King. Estimate losses of ten moves or fewer. Utilise the elements: time, force, space and pawn structure. Plan strategy based on time-tested opening principles. Employ a defense for Black against any White Opening. Apply an opening for White used by World Champions. Winning Chess Openings will help readers develop a solid understanding of opening principles that can be applied to every game they play--without having to memorize a dizzying array of tedious and lengthy opening lines.
