In 1998 a slim volume by international master John Donaldson explored the crafting of a spophisticated but easily assmilated group of interrelated opening strategies intending to establish small but lasting advantages. The result, A Strategic Opening Repertoire, was an instant success. Now this second edition, revised by Danish FM Carsten Hansen with the assistance of John Donaldson, is greatly expanded - twice the size - with many more games and detailed explanations. The lines presented here will serve a player well throughout his career as they are based on solid positionial ideas with an emphasis on understanding rather than memorizing. They will not fall because of one sharp novelty. Using this repertoire, you will invariably find yourself on more familiar ground than your opponent.
