A complete, low-maintenance opening repertoire for both White and Black whose basics can be learned in a week.

Graham Burgess aims for unbalanced middlegame positions that avoid mass exchanges and symmetry, while keeping the lines safe enough that forgetting a key move doesn't lose immediately. Mini-rules and reminders help readers internalize the strategic themes. As Black he chooses the Scandinavian and a carefully crafted Slav/Queen's Gambit Accepted hybrid; as White, the English Opening, often with Botvinnik-style setups. The repertoire avoids the much-feared Exchange Slav, sidesteps deep mainstream theory, and contains sharp original ideas that have rarely or never been seen over the board. Graham Burgess is a FIDE Master and Gambit's Editorial Director.
