Opening Traps Made Easy Fm Bill Jordan

IntroductionPlaying through opening tactics can be a lot of fun. Also learning them gives you the opportunity to try them on your opponents. Studying them also helps prevent you from falling into them.

The author is a chess coach, Fide Master and national senior champion. I recommend studying opening traps as one of the best way for new players to learn openings. Not only does studying opening traps develop familiarity with openings in general, it can also help develop your tactical skill in the middlegame and endgame.

This book uses many chess diagrams. You do not need a chess set to read this book. It is presumed the reader has familiarity with chess rules and Algebraic notation.

Opening tactics are divided into categories and sub categories. Examples of many tactical patterns are shown. Fragments of chess positions are used so the reader can focus on the essential tactical elements. Opening Traps Made Easy Part 2 has a collection of complete short games and positions.
