Libro en inglés.

Reimagining 1.e4 is the title of this wonderful new book by our dear friend Nikos Ntirlis. The style and content of this book live up to the title in every way. Nikos has assembled an arsenal of opening ideas covering the full 1.e4 spectrum. Nothing in the book requires excessive memorization of variations. Many of the weapons carry great surprise value and lead to positions which are practically unpleasant for Black, even when the engine verdict ends up as 0.00.

This book offers a 1.e4 repertoire against all major defences – but at 304 pages, it is not, and does not try to be, a complete guide against every move Black may try. GM Anish Giri was so impressed with Nikos’s ideas that he agreed to write a foreword. You can read it along with the rest of the excerpt here.

Although Nikos’s superb work takes centre stage, I’m also proud of the fantastic team effort that took place. Kallia created a wonderful cover design and Jacob came up with a fresh internal aesthetic, redesigning chapter cover pages while keeping our signature style in other places, so it’s still unmistakeably a Quality Chess book. “Reimagining” was the theme throughout. Kostis edited maybe 75% and I edited the rest, in between other duties. Richard Palliser was a great asset with proofreading and other final checks. Well done team!
