Theory And Practice Horowitz.pdf _top_ | Chess Openings

Read the "General Principles" section and the introductory paragraphs for each opening. Step 2: Play through the master games. Set up a real chessboard. Play the moves of the annotated game. Step 3: Cross-reference with a modern database. If you like the King’s Gambit from Horowitz, take that line and check it against the Lichess Masters Database. See where Horowitz’s analysis ends and modern computer theory deviates. Step 4: Build a repertoire. Choose one opening for White (Horowitz recommends 1.e4 for beginners) and one defense for Black against 1.e4 and 1.d4. Write down the "Horowitz line" and memorize only the first 6 to 8 moves.
