Gambit Publications FCO - Fundamental Chess Openings

like a chess bible, paper and quality are good. An hardcover will be a good idea and redesign this cover will be "fundamental" , anyway this is a must have.

There are many books on chess openings. The famous ones are all good, and so is FCO. But the factors that also makes difference in the learning experience are binding quality, paper quality, font size and print quality. And on that matter, this specific publication excels as the quality is just right.

Escrito por um Grande Mestre o livro traz um capítulo para cada abertura de xadrez. Ênfase em planos e ideias. Nada de dezenas de variantes que deixam o leitor confuso e que tem pouca ou nenhuma utilidade prática. Ou seja o leitor, com um pouco de disciplina, terá a oportunidade de criar seu próprio repertório de aberturas sem a necessidade de ficar semanas ou meses estudando variantes obscuras que não têm a menor chance de acontecer em suas partidas.

Nice book

This book is great, has every piece of information presented clearly, without rattling on and on about unuseful lines. It's great if you're beginning and wanting to get started up in opening theory. I recommend it to be your first opening theory book, but I'm sure you'll buy more books!! It might not be for you if you're interested in an extremely detailed opening advice about a particular issue. For example, if you wanna learn the KID or de Pirc Defence, you should buy a book about that particular opening, as this book only covers the basics of each one.
