In My First Chess Opening Repertoire you will learn how to play the opening. This book gives
you a compact and easy-to-learn repertoire for White starting with the move 1.e4. And it gives
you a similar repertoire for Black with answers to all of White's approaches.For beginners and
improvers for anyone with a rating up to 1200 (or even higher!) there is probably no better
guide than Christof Sielecki who has already published four opening books and more than a
dozen courses on the Chessable platform. He knows exactly what his students need and has indeed
received thousands of five-star ratings. The author strikes the perfect balance between fun
easy to understand and theoretically sound opening choices. And he keeps it entertaining with
attacking and counterattacking lines!First you'll learn the general opening principles that
will guide you in any situation - even if your opponent doesn't play the exact moves in the
book. Then you'll learn specific variations that will improve both your opening play and your
general understanding of chess. With White you will start with 1.e4 and build your repertoire
around timeless opening principles with logical moves that almost play themselves. With Black
for example you will study the Sicilian Defence - an opening that guarantees you the most
interesting games and the most attacking opportunities. This repertoire will allow you to hit
the ground running.
