This book contains an indepth analysis of opening strategies labeled by name. It also has a move by move breakdown of the opening moves and various options through checkmate for each example. I would recommend this book as a stretegy tutorial for the chess club member wanting to improve his opening play. I bought this for my son (16yr old)who has used it to good advantage in competitive play.
You will certainly play your favorite chess openings very well like a chess master!
