How to Start a Chess Game, Part A: Open Games by Miroslawa Litmanowicz is a Polish-language chess book about the opening phase of the game. Instead of offering quick tricks, it explains how to start a game properly by understanding the purpose of the first moves and the ideas behind them.
What the book covers
This volume, Part A: Open Games, brings order to the opening phase and helps you make sense of positions that arise from classical open games. It is aimed at readers who want more than memorised lines and prefer to understand why particular moves are correct and how they shape the rest of the game.
The author treats opening knowledge as the basis for building a sound position from the very first moves, rather than as a shortcut to an early win. That approach also makes the book useful later in the middlegame and helps you avoid common mistakes at the start.
Why choose it?
This book is a good fit for players who want to develop their chess skills in a more deliberate way. Instead of a dry list of variations, it offers an explanation of the principles that govern the opening. It is especially relevant for players studying tournament chess, trainers, and anyone who wants to feel more confident in games that begin with classical openings.
If you are looking for a book on chess openings for self-study, opening repertoire work or training, this is a practical choice.
