The Really Simple 1 E4 by Dimitris Farmakis Book PDF Summary
This book is for amateur chess club players, particularly those who (just like me) have no time to study main lines of opening theory due to family, work, kids etc, but still would like to play 1.e4 despite having to face several Black defences with lot of theory.You may find a brief description of the book's concept below:1.It's a complete White 1.e4 repertoire. 2. After each one of the possible Black answers to 1.e4 White always is the first to deviate with sidelines, as early as possible (except Alehnin Defence, where I propose the Modern Variation as it is simple and safe with a modest spatial advantage). In this way White always plays in familiar territory whilst Black not.3. White doesn't aim for the best move in terms of evaluation. He might play an inferior move only because the "natural" Black response will lead to advantage or a permanent weakness in Black's camp. He gets equal positions where Black concedes permanent weaknesses (this is very well demonstrated in the Center Game), such as damaged pawn structure, weak king etc. It can even be a slightly inferior position with evaluation -0.21 or -0.31, but in amateur level such an evaluation hardly plays any significant role when there are permanent weaknesses on the board. Moreover, in many cases the path to equality or to the slight advantage for Black is not obvious at all, whilst "natural" moves to the human mind lead to White advantage. 4. Getting a position with permanent weaknesses for your opponent right out of the opening serves very well as a compass in the middlegame. White won't lose his way as he has at least one clear plan at his disposal: target the weaknesses.
