- med undertitlen "A Solid and Straightforward Chess Opening Repertoire for White"
Modtog "Chess Pub 2018 Book of The Year Award" for bogen.
Dette er en praktisk repertoirebog.
Forfatteren har her udvalgt en række varianter, der er nemme at lære.
Du skal ikke ofre noget, og behøver ikke lære lange taktiske forviklinger.
Varianter som ikke nødvendigvis er de mest kritiske, men stadig ubehagelige for sort at møde. Og som det måske vigtigste: ikke behøver den store vedligeholdelse på klubniveau.
Bogen omhandler ikke kun de første åbningstræk, men giver mange anvisninger på varianter, der rækker ind i midtspillet.
Her kan du se Sielicki´s valg af varianter:

Min vurdering af målgruppen: en rigtig god lærebog for junior eller klubspillere i niveauet fra 15-1600 i rating. Der søger et sundt basissystem med 1.e4.
Jeg vil mene at bogen kan bruges op til 2100 niveau. Derefter behøver du mere dybdeborende åbningsbøger, f.eks. fra Quality!
Om forfatteren: tysk IM. Stor erfaring som skaktræner.
Driver den populære YouTube kanal "ChessExplained". Varianterne er først afprøvet på denne kanal sammen med hans studerende, og først derefter endelig redigeret og frigivet som bog.

Anmeldelser:
Grandmaster Glenn Flear, author of ‘Starting Out: the Open Games’:
"Sieleckis’s repertoire is sound and annoying. Exactly the sort of thing that will make many an opponent groan."
National Master Timothy McGrew:
"IM Sielecki has poured an insane amount of time and effort into crafting this White repertoire, focusing for the most part on lines that are used by top GMs but that lie outside of the main streams of opening theory. Because the coverage of every option is so extensive, purchasing ‘Keep it Simple: 1.e4’ really is like buying a set of repertoire books. If you are an ambitious player rated 1500 or higher, and you’d like to round out a serious, bulletproof 1.e4 repertoire suitable for employment up to the titled player level, and you’re ready to squeeze your opponent when the position calls for squeezing and to blitz him when it calls for a lightning strike, you simply can’t lose here."
International Master John Donaldson:
"An opening repertoire based on simple and straightforward lines that pack some poison (..) Sielecki has been careful not to overwhelm the reader with too much analysis."
National Master Han Schut, Chess.com:
"An excellent book that delivers exactly what the title states: A relatively simple (700+ variations!), solid and straightforward repertoire. Many 1500+ players will be very happy that this repertoire is now available."
