Every chess player faces an opening dilemma: big main lines are complicated and time-consuming to learn, while easy-to-learn sidelines usually suffer from other defects. Finding the best of both worlds has been an impossible dream – until now!

Reimagining 1.e4 offers the Holy Grail of a simple, easy-to-learn White repertoire, which packs a punch against all of Black’s main defences. In some lines, White unleashes a surprise as early as move 3. In others, White follows the known paths for a little longer, but only when there are big rewards to justify a modest effort.

Nikolaos Ntirlis is a correspondence IM who has worked as an openings advisor for numerous GMs. His books for Quality Chess have established him as one of the world’s top authors on chess openings, with an ideal balance of theoretical correctness and practical effectiveness.

Reviews

Sean Marsh (CHESS magazine)
“It is no mean trick to produce material which appeals to and entices players ranging from club players to grandmasters, but this book does exactly that and, as such, comes highly recommended.”

CM Han Schut (YouTube)
“This book is a goldmine of opening ideas and novelties that stronger players can feast on.”
