1e4 The Chess Bible – Volume 1 – A Complete Repertoire for White “I believe that Black has a wider
margin of error in the closed games than in the open games. Even if they do not know all the details
of a certain line in the former case, they will end up with only a slight disadvantage in the majority of cases.

1e4 The Chess Bible – Volume 1 – A Complete Repertoire for White The same cannot be said about
the defenses to 1.e4. In this book you will find that Black must tread carefully if they play an offbeat
system, as I have discovered several refutations to the most popular and widely accepted lines within them.”
A Complete Repertoire for White
For every opening, I have adopted the same method of research. Firstly I undertake a detailed
examination of human games, alongside correspondence/email games, with particular regard to the
highest percentage of White wins and the number of games played.
The human games allowed me to gain a natural feelings for the practical elements of the opening in
question, while the correspondence games (essentially human-assisted engine games) covered the
necessary element of objectivity.
Volume 1
The next stage consisted of my own engine analysis, using the Chessbase Engine Cloud to examine
critical but unexplored positions. Finally, I engage as critically as possible with the existing literature,
as I hope others will do with my work in the future.
Structure
At the beginning of every chapter is an overview of the opening, which serves to give the reader some
basic foundations and highlights the general concepts, extracted from the analysis section. If the
reader is in need of a brief summary of a particular opening, I suggest you focus on the overviews.
¡GM Justin Tan
The analysis section contains the main body of work. The reader is not expected to memorize
everything by heart; in fact, that is probably not a productive exercise. When going through a
variation, it is best to stop at a point you think is appropriate, and that should always be the point at
which you find that you have fully understood the position.
The analysis section
Each subchapter ends with a model game, which gives the reader a simplified picture of the variation
at hand. Similar to the overview chapter, this section is largely illustrative.
