A chess opening book is a book on chess openings. They are by far the most common type of literature on chess. These describe many major lines, like the Sicilian Defence, Ruy Lopez, and Queen's Gambit,〔Book Openings, http://www.chess.com/openings/, 16 June 2012〕 as well many minor variations of the main lines.〔Chess Developments: The Sicilian Dragon, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chess-Developments-The-Sicilian-Dragon/dp/1857446755/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339842904&sr=8-1, 16 June 2012〕 ==Types== There are several types of opening manuals: # Manuals dealing with one specific opening - Often these manuals have highly optimistic titles, like ''Black to Play and Win with 1...g6'' (Andrew Soltis),〔Black to Play and Win with 1-G6: A Complete Defensive System, http://www.alibris.com/booksearch?qwork=732801, 16 June 2012〕 but some are more modest: ''Starting out: the King's Indian'' (Joe Gallagher).〔Starting Out: The King's Indian, http://www.chessville.com/reviews/reviews_start_kid.htm, 16 June 2012〕 In general, these books are the most accessible to the general reader, and cover the most material for individual opening systems (though some also cover openings in general).〔Index of Reviews, http://www.chessville.com/reviews/reviews_index.htm, 16 June 2012〕 # Manuals giving a system or repertoire - These manuals discuss two or more opening systems, often related by similar tactical themes, pawn structures, or strategic aims. The aim is generally to get the player to the middle game with a playable position without too much trouble, no matter what the opposing player does.〔Chess Openings Ancient and Modern, http://www.chessville.com/reviews/ChessOpeningsAncientandModern_and_ChessEndings.htm, 16 June 2012〕 # Manuals giving general opening advice and guidance - Possibly the most famous example of this type of manual (in English) is Reuben Fine's ''The Ideas Behind the Chess Openings''. This type of book does not analyze any opening system to much depth, but teaches the ideas that will help its reader understand opening play.〔Reader's guide: Fine's Ideas Behind the Chess Openings, http://exeterchessclub.org.uk/content/readers-guide-fines-ideas-behind-chess-openings, 16 June 2012〕 # Encyclopedic manuals that aim to be comprehensive - These manuals, from the five volume ''Encyclopedia of Chess Openings''〔ECO - Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings, http://www.chessinformant.rs/eco-encyclopaedia-of-chess-openings, 16 June 2012〕 to the single volume works like ''Nunn's Chess Openings''〔NUNN'S CHESS OPENINGS, http://www.jeremysilman.com/book_reviews_jw/jw_nunn_chess_opening.html, 16 June 2012〕 and ''Modern Chess Openings'' by Nick de Firmian and Walter Korn aim to cover as many opening systems as possible at the expense of understanding the ideas behind the opening. Usually, at the end of a sequence of moves provided in a theory table, the reader is told that one side stands slightly better than the other. However no information is given on what that assessment is based on or how to proceed in the game.〔Chess theory tables, http://www.chessforums.org/chess-books-recommended-reading/7242-chess-theory-tables.html, 16 June 2012〕〔Chess theory tables???, http://www.chessforums.org/chess-openings/7182-chess-theory-tables.html, 16 June 2012〕 # DVD demonstrating the openings - These DVDs are the modern idea of describing the main ideas and themes of the openings. Those are explained by strong masters, using video to explain as a teacher performs the principles.〔Chess Opening DVDs, http://www.chesscentral.com/chess_dvds_opening_s/91.htm, 16 June 2012〕〔Chess Opening DVD's, http://www.chesshouse.com/chessopeningsdvds_s/175.htm, 16 June 2012〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「chess opening book」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
