Review "Throughout the coverage is extremely clear and should be especially of use to juniors and the weaker club player." --- Sean Marsh, CHESS Magazine ----- "This is a fun and informative book. While some of the material is basic ... much of it stresses the micro-principles that when adhered to lead to winning chess play. First Steps: 1 e4 e5 is more of an instructional manual about piece activity in the open games than an opening book, as such it is suitable for a broader range of players than its title suggests." --- Mark Donlan, ChessCafe.com Long Description Starting a chess game with 1 e4 e5 is so common that the resulting complex of opening systems traditionally commands its own sobriquet, "The Open Games" (1 e4 met by other replies are "Semi-Open Games" and everything else comes under "Closed Games").
