(Kindle) book description (revised/corrected edition 1.4-9) :
In the 'royal game' of chess, an understanding of all the phases of the game is important, namely, the opening, middle game, and the endgame. While the importance of the opening phase often is overestimated by beginners, at higher levels it can make the difference between a win and a loss.
This book first guides the beginner through the labyrinth of the many different opening variations, recommending only some carefully selected, important openings. The choices for the specific variations starting from 1.4 were made on the basis of deep computer analysis, with minimax (back-solving)
of the resulting opening variations; in those cases where two or more choices would be similar (e.g. drawish), the specific choice was based on practical considerations, sometimes explained in the book (e.g. to avoid a sharp variation). There-after the more advanced, chess 'club' players are shown how to develop a specialized opening set of opening variations, which is called a chess opening 'repertoire'. With such a 'repertoire', the number of options during the opening phase is reduced; and by reducing the time required to study openings, one can allocate more time to the study of other elements in chess, such as tactics (!), positional understanding or the endgame. Several opening choices, found with top computer programs are given. For more advanced players, 1.d4 is added for White as a positional repertoire, the French defense against 1.e4, and some gambits for White. The almost perfect/computer-checked repertoire in this book thus gives an additional and very solid repertoire, thereby acquiring a broader knowledge of opening theory as a whole. Many improvements in modern chess opening theory ('novelties') were found, which vice versa influenced the opening choice again. With a top chess engine and our own opening book we achieved a number one standard ranking end Dec. 2010 on the Internet Chess Club (ICC) and stayed in the top-three there ever-since.

It is a pleasant surprise to discover how comprehensively easy it is to read this book in plain simple English
By KrissyG
J.E.F Kaan is a Masters degree physicist and MBA and lives in the Netherlands. He obviously has a very logical and mathematical brain. Thus it is a pleasant surprise to discover how comprehensively easy it is to read this book in plain simple English. It is geared towards beginners and those at intermediate (club) level looking to strengthen their game. There is a taster of advanced strategy, all laid out in an easy to follow format. This wonderful book deserves to have a wider audience and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
I would recommend reading it in small chunks at a time, as you need to concentrate to follow the moves and the logic, and this takes pleasurable effort, despite the clean simplicity of the text.
I have played chess for many years, although only for leisure. I have never read a chess book before. My knowledge of chess comes from playing the game with all levels of opponent, some of whom were trained to a high level and knew the advice of having a strong opening move and the importance of controlling the centre of the board. My two uncles, sadly now deceased, were both chess masters, winning many chess trophies and tournaments in Finland and for Finland, together with a clock, and often playing in the communist block where chess is strong, and I soon noticed they would always make the same opening move, with an occasional “crazy” move as a surprise tactic.
Kaan has certainly encouraged me to resume the beautiful game and he recommends using a computer chess program to practice the recommended moves.
Chess is a spatial game and it helps to have good spatial intelligence. Kaan nonetheless helps the reader with a three-dimensional chess board early on in the book to aid the reader’s visualisation of the chess board and the square letters and numbers. When dealing with the Black defence in the early chapters, he helpfully turns the diagrams upside down so it is from the perspective of the reader.
The diagrams of all the moves and the artistic graphics used as illustrations between the chapters are excellent and artistically pleasing. There are black and white photos of various grandmasters, all of which are aspirational. The colour version shows the chessboard in a pleasing brown and yellow rather than stark black and white.
Chapter One deals with the purpose of the book. Chapter Two the Opening Phase and why a good opening is essential to winning a game.
Chapter Three is aimed at Beginners’ Openings, which can be skipped by those who want to go straight to intermediate.
The introductions over, and familiarity with chess notation absorbed, Chapter Three continues with a complete tool kit of Opening Repertoires. Kaan explains why this is important and demonstrates what can go wrong by illustrating typical Patzer (=beginner) moves that lead to disaster by their rashness. Included in this are the Grob, or the Scholar’s Mate. All terms are explained. Kaan takes us through the (for example) Black Italian opening, or the Blackburne Shilling gambit, to name just a few.
Kaan leads us through openings to avoid (as a relative beginner) such as the Giuoco Piano – white moving the bishop to C4, actually a start for sharp attack for the more skilled – the Scotch, the Ponziani, Vienna King’s Gambit, Bishop’s Opening, Centre Games, Alapins, Two Knights, etc, etc. He runs through opening defense moves for Black, explaining the possible pitfalls
Chapter Four deals with the Intermediate Repertoire, for example, the Deferred Schliemann, or the Modern Steinitz Defence. This leads on to the key Ruy Lopez variations, to name but one.
Chapter Five progresses into Gambit Repertoire. These tactical plans include G�ring, Scotch , Sicilian, Gruenfeld and King’s Indian, amongst several others.
Chapter Six deals with Positional Repertoire: – strategy. Amongst these are the Dutch, Austrian and Leningrad attacks.
Then follows an Appendix of 34 pages that provides some notes, a glossary of terms, (an Index of Variations in tabular form is available in the paperback version only) and comprehensive index of the contents of the book.
I have no hesitation in endorsing this book.

Fantastic Book on the Opening in Chess -- a Computer-tested Repertoire
By Metaphysician
This is a terrific book for the player looking for a positionally sound opening repertoire. Nothing is wasted -- there is some general, useful advice for playing the opening, and then suggested opening lines with concise commentary and explanation. There are separate sections for the improving player and the more experienced player, as well as a gambit repertoire for players interested in more speculative, riskier openings.
Players of expert strength and masters would benefit from the book as well, because the lines are computer-analyzed: Jef Kaan has played on the Internet Chess Club for many years, using a chess engine as well as his program "Bookbuilder," which does what the name suggests: create an optimal opening book. I myself have played many games against Bookbuilder on the ICC, using a computer account, and we seem evenly matched, despite the fact that my computer is faster and more powerful than his, a result that I attribute to his strong, polished opening book.
In short: if you are serious about learning a sound opening repertoire that will leave you confident in the middlegame, this is the book for you.
