The Fianchetto Solution: A Complete, Solid and Flexible Chess Opening Repertoire

A Complete, Solid and Flexible Chess Opening Repertoire for Black & White ­ with the King’s Fianchetto

When experienced chess teacher Emmanuel Neiman learned that some of his pupils hesitated to play in

competitions for fear of being crushed in the opening, he wanted to help.

 

Neiman knew that amateurs have little time to seriously study opening theory, so he had to come up with

a practical, complete, easy-to-learn and solid opening repertoire that would not outdate rapidly.

 

And that is what he did. Neiman advises amateurs to play (with both colours!) the flexible King’s

Fianchetto system, where the Bishop is a defender of the King and at the same time an attacker.

 

No matter what side you are, you use the same basic ideas: as White you are targeting the light squares

and as Black the dark squares, while applying roughly the same strategies, plans and tactical motifs.

 

Neiman has teamed up with Samy Shoker, who gained the Grandmaster title by mainly playing the

King’s Fianchetto systems (and sometimes beating 2700+ rated players with it!).

 

The result is a complete and practical repertoire which will give club players a sound and flexible

middlegame position they can feel at home in. In many lines Neiman and Shoker not only present a solid

approach but also a sharp and aggressive alternative.
