Opening tricks for children

Chess is very fun when you learn to survive the opening and manage to stop the tactical tricks of your opponent.

That is what this book! By understanding the opening game and knowing how to exploit tactical ideas, we give our opponents the same medicine they try to give us. These tricks that we teach you will make you surpass your rival, that you manage to deceive him, catch him and expel him from the board!

Opening tricks for children is a serious course on how to play the opening, illustrated with clear and entertaining examples and focused on 100 key topics.

Graham Burgess explains how to use these opening tricks for our benefit. Remember that each opening presents hidden dangers for both players, so we must avoid the pitfalls and use tactics to reach the initial objectives and control the center of the board.

Most of the 100 key themes present a basic example followed by a more complex one. Some of the tricks have claimed giant victims, while others are more likely to come up in children's or youth chess.

The goal is to learn the subject very well so that you can use it when similar opportunities arise in your own games. A series of exercises at the end of the book will allow you to verify if you have captured the main points.

The award-winning author Graham Burgess has written 25 chess books, ranging from general guides to specific works on openings. He is a FIDE teacher and former champion of the Danish region of Funen. In 1994 he set a world record for the marathon chess game.
