The Open Game in Action
Anatoly Karpov
''The open games, which commence 1 e4 e5, are some of the most exciting and important in chess. In this, the first of a four-volume series covering all of the major openings, former World Champion Anatoly Karpov presents a survey of the Ruy Lopez, the Russian (or Petroff), the Scotch, the Italian (or Giuoco Piano) and the Four Knights. Complete games from recent Grandmaster play are analysed in depth, so that the reader sees the logical connection of the opening to the middlegame (and beyond).
This is not only an excellent book for players wishing to improve their understanding of the opening; it is also highly entertaining, and all players will find much to enjoy.
Anatoly Karpov was World Champion from 1975 to 1985, during which time he dominated the chess world, becoming the most successful tournament player in history. His recent epic struggles with Gary Kasparov have proved that he is the only player in the world capable of successfully challenging Kasparov for the World Championship.
