title: My First Chess Opening Repertoire for White: A Turn-key Package for Ambitious Beginners
author:  Vincent Moret 
description: "A relatively easy to learn yet reasonably sharp set of lines which could certainly be effective at a club level. Time and space are also spent on explaining key middlegame ideas and structures and I found these explanations to be clear and concise (...) Useful test positions are to be found a the end of each chapter. I like these; they are not too difficult, but will definitely help readers increase their understanding of the repertoire." (Sean Marsh <i>CHESS Magazine (UK)</i>)<br /><br />"The book has clear-cut structure. It's all about typical aggressive ideas in various opening systems. The author presents a healthy mixture of master games and games played by his pupils. He clearly shows frequent errors and motives, and one can't hardly wait to use this stuff in the next game. Highly recommended for trainers and parents of young talents." (Dirk Schuh, International Master <i>Rochade Europa Magazine</i>)<br /><br />"This book is filled with exciting, tactical lines. While these won't fool strong players, they will often wipe the beginner opponent off the board. What I like about this book is his copious prose, which gives the reader the history of the moves and the ideas and tactics." (Jeremy Silman, International Master <i>Chess.com</i>)<br /><br />"Simple systems for White, starting with 1.e4, about which the author explains many ideas, structures and typical manoeuvers using short games that are often played by his pupils. That's why the book is well-suited for young players, but also for older beginners and players with a rating up to 2000 this repertoire is very useful" (Florian Jacobs <i>Max Euwe Center Amsterdam</i>)<br /><br />"A relatively easy to learn yet reasonably sharp set of lines which could certainly be effective at a club level. Time and space are also spent on explaining key middlegame ideas and structures and I found these explanations to be clear and concise (...) Useful test positions are to be found a the end of each chapter. I like these; they are not too difficult, but will definitely help readers increase their understanding of the repertoire." (Sean Marsh <i>CHESS Magazine</i>)<br /><br />"Moret is a teacher/trainer per excellence. This volume is for White, but Black is allowed a peek. The intentions behind the moves are being explained, followed by nice exercises. Very useful for trainers of youngsters!" (B.H. Wilders <i>Nederlands Dagblad</i>)<br /><br />"The openings are aimed at players rated 1200-1700, with lots of insight on how to play the positions. An opening repertoire book that will definitely improve your rating." (Gary Lane, International Master <i>English Chess Federation Newletter</i>)
