This title is contemporarily sold out. Again expected in January-February 2026. Opening 1.e4 e5 2.d4 for White repertoire. The explanation is accompanied by 45 games annotated in detail. Index of variations, index of names, bibliography. From the cover: The Center Game is a wonderful opening for club players. White starts with a center push, develops quickly, looks for opposite castling, and launches an attack. The setup will feel very familiar to you in no time. And the chess engines show that this opening is both sound and correct, and at least as good as the over-analyzed Ruy Lopez and Italian Opening. With this opening, you'll get a middlegame position that you know very well, but quite often will be new to Black. This will probably guarantee you an advantage on the clock, which will further increase your winning chances. Further information about the book is available at newinchess.com. 2 pictures.
