Understanding before Moving: Part 1 (Ext. Rev. 2nd Edition) In my view the average club player will be

more pleased with an opening book in which a profusion of ideas is offered. If this is also structured, you

can hope that the readers will acquire the necessary understanding of standard positions.

On the basis of this guideline, developing an opening repertoire could easily turn into a pleasant pastime.

Together with my Belgian chess pal Daniel Vanheirzeele, the owner of Thinkers Publishing, I have been enabled

to discuss the backgrounds of openings in a much more detailed manner, something I couldn’t do in my article

series because of the lack of space.

We hope to take the reader from the opening into the unfathomable depths of grandmaster chess. Here

we try in a way of our very own to give a full explanation of the many plans, ideas and concepts that

Biel 2006 (for Black), which I have provided with a broad analysis and will be added right behind this strategic overview.

Because this book has also become available on the internet platform chessable.com, it seemed a good idea to

generate some extra exercises on top. These should of course not be missing in the printed edition. Since in the

original version mainly the tactics were dominant, I have now chosen to split the chapter with the exercises into

two parts: • Section 1: Tactical exercises • Section 2: Strategic exercises I offer sixteen extra exercises, divided in

both sections and adding more than 80 pages to the previous edition. All in all, with this new edition, I hope to

have fulfilled the expectations raised in some reviews. I wish the reader a lot of reading and playing fun while

working through this book! Herman Grooten, December 2020.
