Introduction
Introduction One day, at the end of a group lesson on basic rook endgame positions that I had just given at my club, one of my students, Hocine, aged about ten, came up to ask me: «But what is the point of knowing the Lucena or Philidor positions? I never get that far. Often I lose before the ending because I didn’t know the opening. Teach us the Sicilian Defence instead, it will be more useful». Of course, I tried to make him understand that if he lost it was not always, or even often, because of his shortcomings in the opening. I also explained to him that learning the endgames was essential to progress in the other phases of the game, and that the positions of Philidor or Lucena (to name but these two) should be part of the basic knowledge of any chess player, in much the same way that a musician must inevitably study the works of Mozart and Beethoven, sooner or later. However, I came to realize that I had great di culty in making him see reason. Meanwhile Nicolas, another of my ten-year-old students, regularly arrives at classes with a whole bunch of new names of openings that he gleaned here and there on the internet, and that he proudly displays to his club mates. They remain amazed by all these baroque-sounding opening names, and they have a deep respect for his encyclopaedic knowledge. For my part, I try to behave like a teacher by explaining to Nicolas that his intellectual curiosity is commendable, but that knowledge of the Durkin Attack, the Elephant Gambit or the Mexican Defence, as exciting as they might be, has a rather limited practical interest at the board. Hocine and Nicolas are certainly not isolated examples. Many youngsters are convinced that knowledge of opening theory can be used to measure, like a barometer, the strength of a chess player. «If he’s stronger than me, it’s simply because he knows more openings!». We rarely hear a competitor – let alone a youngster – complain of losing because he does not know how to play queen endgames or because he does not master the subtleties of the pawn structure. The opening has indeed always had a sort of fascination for chess players. One only has to observe that most competitive players, whatever their level, devote the bulk of their work to it, and for this they can count on the abundant chess literature. More has been written about the initial phase of the game than about any other area of chess, whether it is the middlegame, the endgame, the history or the strategy. 7
My First Chess Opening Repertoire for White
Unfortunately, very often another parallel point is clear: many players, among those who embark on competition, spend a considerable time studying the openings, but do not get their money’s worth. Some of them arrive at the chessboard swamped with variations that they have memorized beyond the 20th move at times, but are completely ba ed when their opponent plays a bad move that is not part of their repertoire. In fact, they have learned without really understanding. For the last twenty years I have had the pleasure – every day that passes I am convinced that it is one – to accompany young players as they progress, whether in my club or within the French team that I’ve supervised for twelve years. Hocine, Nicolas, and many other students – both young and old – have asked me, sometimes insistently, to write down all of our work on the openings in the form of a book. It was with some reluctance at rst, because I did not really see what I could add to everything that had already been written on the subject, but I did write it, and now I make it available to the public. Another book on the openings, one might think at rst. I have, however, the weakness to believe that this book will be original and that it will stand out from most of the others. At least in its approach, and above all because of the audience for which it is intended. Its public, rst of all. Some lms are forbidden to those under 16 years old. I would have wanted to say, at rst, that this book was only for youngsters. However, as age is obviously not involved in progress at chess, I should really say that it is forbidden to players above a certain level. More seriously, this book is not intended to prepare masters, or even candidate masters (at least not right away), but to bring ideas and points of reference to players – young and less young alike – who engage in competitions and are not sure where to start studying openings. The primary objective of this book is just to help these players by o ering a reliable and e cient repertoire that they can assimilate without spending too much time on it, and above all which emphasizes understanding over memorization. This book will also be useful for organizers and trainers of clubs who do not feel competent when they have to teach openings. Original in its approach, next. Those who leaf through this book hoping to nd the latest fashionable novelties from the Najdorf or Grünfeld may close it. In the pages that follow

Introduction
there are no major theoretical lines and no 2Aa431 variations, but a collection of complete games. Far more than being able to recite the rst ten moves of an opening by heart, it is important to know the typical middlegame plans that result from this opening, and it is only by studying complete games that you can discover these. I have made the choice to select games from young players, whenever possible, rather than games from grandmasters. It is in this sense that this work will di er from most other treaties on the openings. If I have made such a choice, it is for at least two reasons: 1. What would I have to add to the games of grandmasters that have already been analysed by illustrious players and that can be found in many other publications? 2. It seems pro table, at least at rst, to study the games of children and enthusiasts, with their characteristic faults, rather than those of grandmasters, albeit often free of major mistakes but sometimes a little di cult to grasp for the layman. Obviously, it is impossible to study an opening without drawing on the experience of the best players. This is why some games from great champions will be included in the collection. This book is designed in the form of a repertoire. It o ers systems targeted speci cally at White, and not an encyclopaedic survey of all the openings. Because of the density of the material, it was nally decided to do two volumes. On the same principle, a 2nd volume will thus propose a repertoire for Black against White’s main moves (naturally starting with 1.e4 and 1.d4). You will notice that many proposed openings bear the name of ‘Attack’. I deliberately chose o ensive variations. Playing aggressive openings allows the development of tactical vision in open positions, which can only be bene cial to progress. This is why it is natural that I recommend 1.e4 as the opening move for White. In any case, it is an essential stage on the road for any beginner. There will always be time later to eventually move on to other more strategic, and therefore more complex, openings. At the end of each chapter a series of exercises will test that the concepts discussed have been assimilated, and it’s not necessarily always a question of mating, either, but sometimes just of nding the appropriate plan. An experienced player can try to solve the positions before reading the chapter.

Evidently, it would be extravagant of me to claim that the examined openings win or even ensure a forced advantage. This book is not intended to guarantee a victory in less than 20 moves against any defence. If such miracle cures existed, they would be widely known. On the other hand, this book should enable you to build an opening repertoire without too much e ort. You can then devote more time to other sectors, in particular to tactics, which are fundamental. As a result, your progress in the other phases of the game is thus strengthened and success at the board should not delay. Eh, yes! Even if a well-managed opening repertoire does not guarantee victory, it can greatly contribute. Hocine and Nicolas will appreciate this and will not disagree. Now I wish you a safe and rewarding journey of initiation into the fabulous world of the openings. If, in addition to acquiring new knowledge, you will have fun, this modest book will have achieved its goal.
