PRAISE FOR
OPENINGS FOR AMATEURS
“There’s a need for a book such as this in today’s work-a-day world: Give it to me neat, no fizz. Cut
to the chase. You won’t find reams of analysis, and no data dumps of variations.
“You will find good, common-sense advice in the primer section (do’s and don’ts, good and evil),
easily digested in nugget-sized morsels, followed by excellent model games. You can dine at your
leisure, a chapter at a sitting, and walk away satisfied.”
–Glenn Petersen (amateur in search of an opening), Editor, Chess Life for Kids
“Peter Tamburro’s excellent new text,
Openings for Amateurs,
is everything the recreational player
needs to appreciate the opening phase of chess. But the author ’s insights don’t stop in the first dozen
moves. Glide through it and you can watch your entire game take on greater power and verve. On my
list of recommended new chess books, it rises to the top.”
–Bruce Pandolfini, renowned chess teacher and author
“When I read it, I felt like I was reading through an old-fashioned primer – easy to digest, even
without a chessboard, and plenty of insight. This is my opinion – from the guy who always disliked
openings and survived at the highest level by grinding out middlegames and endgames.”
–IM Igor Khmelnitsky, award-winning author of Chess Exam and Training Guide
“Thank you Pete. You understand us amateurs better than almost anyone else. Speaking for the rest of
us, I appreciate your help, advice, and time.”
–A reader of Pete Tamburro’s “Openings for Amateurs” message board
To Ruth
For your support, understanding, and incredible patience
