Garry Kasparov, Baku Raymond Keene, London October 1993Kasparov’s Opening Preparation Raymond Keene Kasparov bas been world champion for eight years and far from adhering to routine opening systems which have brought him victories in the past he has blasted open new paths and introduced fresh new variations en route to getting the highest chess ranking (2805) in the history of the game. Indicative of Kasparov's innovatory contribution to opening theory bas becn his espousal of the sharp King’s Indian Defence as Black against even the world’s very best players and his introduction of new twists as White into that ancient opening, the Scotch. . The games which follow exemplify the thrusts of these trail-blazing trends. The comments to the win against Karpov and those to the second win against Short have been personally written by Kasparov.

Batsford had already published the five-volume Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings, but our feeling was that both the price and the complexity of these highly specialized technical volumes were soaring beyond the reach and the needs of the average player. Accordingly, we atlempted to create a single, inexpensive volume, covering all openings to a depth that will be adequate. for all social, ciub, postal and county players, plus competitors in weekend tournaments, especially junior players, The latter may indeed perceive this light- weight compendium as @ particular boon when assembling their weekend higgage. The compression required to pack coverage of all openings into some 400 pages may render our book’s utility more problematic for masters and grandmasters on the international circuit, but we hope that the new suggestions and our selection of material may be helpfuleven for this exalted class of player. ‘The key points of this book are as follows: © Co-operation by an expert international team from the USSR, England and USA. @ All openings are covered. © Ease of reference, All notes connected to the rows of main moves appear on one and the same double-spread, thus avoiding all that tedious juggling with separate pages tofind the right note which one associates with so maay other reference books. © Strategic introductions. ideas and historical background to each opening. © The material is very up to date. This second edition has been revised up to January 1989. © All moves appear in FIDE-approved international figurine algebraic notation. Our choice of material and methods of presentation have been massively endorsed by the ‘chess public, who have made the first edition of BCO a runaway international bestseller. We are confident that the extensive new material and original research in the second edition will maintain the standards of excellence that BCO / established. Garry Kasparov, Ray KeeneUnusual Openings (1 b4; 1 24; 1 @c3; 1 g3) Under this heading comes a collection of infrequently essayed first moves. In general, they have been shunned because they aze more committal and have less central influence than more orthodox debuts. 1b4 Sokolsky’s Opening, or the Orangutan as it was dubbed by Polish GM Tartakower after a visit to the zoo during the New York 1924 international tournament, Too eccentric to achieve popularity, it is restricted to sporadic appearances in the hands of maverick layers. nt g4 Grob’s Attack, now championed by England’s free spirit Michael Basman, has considerable psychological impact but does little to improve the White position. Black does well to develop sensibly. 1&3 The Dunst Opening has been employed of late by Mestrovié, Sahovié and Bellon. It is obseure and unambitious. 1 g3 Benko’s Opening is the most reputable of the bunch, and first received attention when Benko used it to defeat Tal and, Fischer in succession at the 1962 Candidates tournament in Curacao. Extremely flexible, it keeps the option of transposing into more common positions of using certain defensive formations with an extra tempo. Larsen and Miles have also unleashed the move at the grandmaster level with considerable success.

In common with most other fl openings White's idea is to control the centre by indirect means and avoid commiting his central pawns too early, White's reticence allows Black to equalize in a number of ways. His most ambitious counter is 1 ... position with equal chances.

The strategic ideas oF Bird's Opening, in particular control of ¢5, are similar to those in the more popular Dutch Defence (1 d4 £5). White's extra tempo is not enough to counterbalance the fact that 1 £4 is a basically innocuous move. The From Gambit £ [4 ¢5 is periodically ‘refuted’ but at present looks good enough for dynamic equality. White also has the option of tuansposing into the King’s Gambit by 2 e4.

It avoids immediate theoretical debate and. postpones the conflict, a slow positional development of the struggle being the customary result Because of its shy personality the game can tend toward Black systems wit an extra move, and the reversed Benoni and King's Indian Attack make up significant portions of the ‘opening’s theory. Another frequent choice is the Neo-Catalan, where White delays or omits entirely the advance d4. Although indirect, this opening still maintains good chances of a small but tangible plus and should appeal to those who prefer a nan-theoretical struggle. The King’s Indian Attack is distinguished by White's playing %f3, ¢3 and £¢2 virtually irrespective of Black's reply. A secondary feature is that White's central build-up tends to be based on pawas at d3 and e4. A significant advantage is flexibility, and i al for players who can vary systems and want to keep their opponents guessing as to middlegame intentions.
