Grandmaster Eingorn is an opening trendsetter and pioneer. Throughout his career, he has introduced many new concepts in the openings, and some of the systems he has developed have gone on to become absolute main lines, such as the Rb1 Exchange Grünfeld. Here he explains his view of opening play, and how it is possible to refine existing systems and work out entirely new ideas from scratch.
The broad topics he discusses include:
- Experiments in the Opening
- Disturbing the Equilibrium
- Strategic Planning
- Opening Structures
He follows up by examining some notable trends in modern opening play, and with an analysis of a number of novel opening systems, including ones that he has championed himself. Eingorn takes us through the creative process, and the highs and Iows of the practical testing and refinement of the ideas. Throughout, the emphasis is on the procedures employed and the general lessons that can be learned.
