Chess Opening Reper toire f or Blitz and Rapid (n1603)Evgeny Sveshnik ov & Vladimir Sveshnik ovIn modern chess, faster time controls have become more important thanever. In blitz chess it is important to make the right decisions quickly andalmost instinctively.That is why world-famous opening expert Grandmaster Evgeny Sveshnikovand his son, International Master Vladimir Sveshnikov, have created anopening repertoire for club players that is forcing, both narrow and deep,and aggressive.The aim is to be in control as much as possible. You want to be the one whodecides which opening is going to be played, you want to dictate thestrategical and technical choices. And you want to keep the pressure,increasing your opponent’s chances to stumble.If you play the lines the Sveshnikovs have selected, you will not end up inpositions where finding the theoretically best move is all-important, but in positions where it is relativelyeasy to spot the moves with the greatest practical effect.Your results will improve and you will probably end up playing their variations in "slow chess" as well.
