ReviewsClub players looking to pick up a 1.e4 repertoire that is manageable but still packs a punch will find Delchev's Practical Opening Repertoire - Volume 1 - The Scandinavian, Pirc & Modern Defenses by Bulgarian Grandmaster Aleksander Delchev quite helpful. This book, which is aimed primarily at players in the 1800-2300 range, is arranged around model games with plenty of explanatory prose backed up by pertinent analysis. IM John Donaldson, August 2024.
Volume NumberVol. 1
SynopsisThe openings presented in this book are the Scandinavian, Pirc and Modern. We presented the material in complete games rather than just publishing my own analysis for the following reasons. While you are studying the opening you will be able to familiarize yourself with the history of the variation, developed by the best players of every generation, and we see their contribution to modern chess theory: Fischer, Spassky, Tak, Botvinnik, Petrosian, Korchnoi and many other chess legends. You will see in practice how to realize an opening advantage, rather than just see +=or+- at the end of the variation and be left wondering why. Every game shows typical methods of attack in the given opening: sacrifice of a pawn for the initiative, attack with opposite-side-castling, attacking plans in specific pawn structures which are frequently seen in this opening variation. Every chapter begins with the general ideas of the opening and concludes with a selection of 30 combinations for you to solve which are typical for the corresponding opening. This book is appropriate for players of any level. Anyone can extract the maximum practical use from this book and have fun at the same time., Alexander Delchev is a highly accomplished chess player, coach, and organizer with a wealth of experience in the chess world. Born on July 15, 1971, in Sofia, Bulgaria, Delchev earned the title of International Master (IM) in 1988 and later became a Grandmaster (GM) in 1998. He has held the position of FIDE Instructor (FI) from 2014 to 2016 and has been a FIDE Senior Trainer (FST) since 2016, showcasing his commitment to chess education. In terms of personal achievements, Delchev has a remarkable track record. He has won the Bulgarian Chess Championship four times-in 1994, 1996, 2001, and 2019-and has represented Bulgaria in numerous international competitions, including ten Chess Olympiads and two European Team Championships. Additionally, he has been an active player in various chess clubs across Europe. Delchev's coaching career, which began in 2008, is equally impressive. He has coached notable players such as Ivan Saric and Vaibhav Suri, contributing to their success on the international stage. He has also worked with top Bulgarian players like Antoaneta Stefanova and Ivan Cheparinov. Delchev's coaching experience extends to serving as a coach, captain, and organizer at various chess clubs and events, including the World Chess Olympiad and the FIDE Women's World Team Championship. As an author, Delchev has contributed significantly to chess literature with several best-selling books, covering various opening repertoires and strategic concepts. He is fluent in multiple languages, including Bulgarian, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Serbian, and Russian., What does it take to become an expert in opening preparation? How can we learn the secret methods which allow the top players to dominate everyone else in the opening? Books can hardly be useful in this regard because modern books on openings, regardless of the level of the author, are very standard and straightforward. The title of this book claims to answer this question. Your author will then back up his claim with proof in the form of analysis from a strong engine. You are then left to decide whether or not to include these ideas in your opening repertoire. What is missing is some sort of guidance and advice relating to what sorts of tournaments and against what sorts of players this idea should be employed. Moreover, every one of you has likely noticed that even the best opening idea still has a relatively short life span and can hardly be used in more than a few games. So far I have published about 10 books on openings and for me it is not a problem to publish another 10 or even more. However, in the modern era I believe the lifespan of an opening book is incredibly short as new games are constantly being played and new ideas are being found. 1 feel it would be much more useful to you if I uncover a new approach to opening preparation, which will be more long-lasting and will improve your play as well. The method of opening preparation I have used throughout my entire chess-playing career {1997 - 2018) allowed me, with relatively little effort, to be unpredictable the re by winning the psychological battle of the opening. Luring my opponents into prepared opening tricks and traps was great fun ! In the method which I will introduce you to in this book, the first and most important aspect is adapting your approach to each individual opponent and perfect prediction of the opponent's opening choice, to the smallest details.
