{"product_id":"2940013847729","title":"The Bishop's Opening","description":"We have all been taught to develop our knights before our bishops, but the move 2.Bc4 strikes immediately at Black's weakest point, f7, and by avoiding 2.Nf3, White gains the option of playing f4 often with having to gambit the pawn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bishop's Opening dates back hundreds of years but still represents a potent weapon, especially against opponents who are not well prepared to play against  it. The author has used the opening at the highest levels of chess long before Garry Kasparov began to try it on occasion.  Play through these 11 well annotated games and you too will come to appreciate the play that White can obtain in this ancient line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike many other inexpensive chess e-books, these are fully annotated in understandable, simple language.  The profuse use of diagrams make these among the first chess books that you can read WITHOUT A BOARD at your side.","brand":"Chess is Fun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069031235824,"sku":"2940013847729","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013847729_p0.jpg?v=1763595499","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013847729","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
