{"product_id":"9781784830144","title":"Playing 1.e4 e5: A Classical Repertoire","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery chess player needs a high-quality answer to\u003cbr\u003e1.e4, and there is nothing more reliable than 1...e5. Black stakes a claim in the centre and prepares to deploy his pieces on good squares. The challenge nowadays is to build a robust repertoire without being overwhelmed by the volume of material and continual advances in opening theory.\u003cbr\u003eIn Playing\u003cbr\u003e1.e4 e5 – A Classical Repertoire, Nikolaos Ntirlis offers the best of both worlds: a complete repertoire against 1.e4, built on sound positional principles, which does not require excessive memorization. Against the Spanish the author recommends the Breyer System, one of the most stable, computer-proof options at Black’s disposal. The Scotch, Italian, Four Knights and various other sidelines and gambits are handled with the same clarity and efficiency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quality Chess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050313302256,"sku":"9781784830144","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781784830144_p0.jpg?v=1763726684","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781784830144","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
