In others, White follows the known paths for a little longer, but only when there are big rewards to justify a modest effort.\r\n\r\nUpon purchasing the e-book, you have two options. You can delve into the material in reading mode, benefiting from a clear board and move list visualization. Alternatively, utilize our opening trainer, harnessing spaced repetition and advanced training algorithms to help learn the entire repertoire.\r\n\r\nNikolaos Ntirlis is a correspondence IM who has worked as an openings advisor for numerous GMs. His books for Quality Chess have established him as one of the world’s top authors on chess openings, with an ideal balance of theoretical correctness and practical effectiveness.\r\n","book_type":"openings","author":"Nikolaos Ntirlis","lang":"en_US","summary":"\r\n**Reimagining 1.e4** provides a 1.e4 repertoire for white against all the common black defences, such as the Spanish, the French, the Sicilian, the Petroff, the Philidor, the Caro-Kann, the Scandinavian, the Pirc, the Modern and the Alekhine. \r\n","small_image":"https://c1b.chesstempo.com/image-store/e9bb316de465446229b5698a0e98ce5053f6041d01b46ed03013ffe601bf1474/img.vers1.webp","publisher_name":"Quality Chess","publisher_id":1877031,"username":"quality chess"}],"initialAllBooksData":null,"userId":0,"official_pub":false,"testSessionId":"","username":"?","bookFaqData":{"title":"Common chess book questions","faqs":[{"question":"How does training work within the chess books?","answer":["The form of training is specific to the type of book material. Problem/Puzzle based books use the Chesstempo problem solving interface, and leverage the rich set of training features that go with that, such as spaced repetition and custom set filtering. Opening books are imported into the opening trainer as opening repertoires where they can be trained using the extensive set of features offered by our opening trainer. Game collection books are imported as guess-the-move games, and after each game is played through you can review your moves alongside the author's annotations. Where appropriate books may include integration with more than one training feature. For example opening books with model games may have the model games available as Guess the move training targets.","Please see the user guide sections for [problem solving](/manual/en/manual.html#tacticstraining), [custom problem sets](/manual/en/manual.html#probsearchandcustomsets), [opening training](/manual/en/manual.html#openingtraining), and [guess-the-move](/manual/en/manual.html#guessthemove) for more details."],"name":"how-does-training-work-within-the-chess-books"},{"question":"Can I create my own tactics books to solve my own set of personal tactics on Chesstempo?","answer":["Yes, if you have a Gold membership, and have a set of tactics you've collected into PGN, you can import them into a new private Chesstempo book, and start using the full set of Chesstempo problem training features with your own imported problems. If you have a Diamond membership you can also use Chesstempo's cloud engines to analyse your positions in order to produce analysis for the top 5 moves in each position in your imported problems. Note this doesn't extract the tactical positions for you, you'll need to have already created a PGN file holding your tactical positions and main line moves before importing."],"name":"can-i-create-my-own-tactics-books-to-solve-my-own-set-of-personal-tactics-on-chesstempo"},{"question":"Do I need a premium membership to purchase and use chess books on Chesstempo?","answer":["No, a premium membership is not required to purchase, read and train with a chesstempo book. Some premium features are enabled for free users when training on purchased books, such as spaced repetition problem solving, and full guess-the-move access to game collection book games. This ensures your purchases remain useful, with or without a premium membership.","Some premium-only features do provide enhanced features with some book training tools however. For example the use of custom sets to create filtered sub-sets of book problems will still require premium membership. Creating your own books does require at least a Gold membership. The most engine intensive book creation features, such as imported problem solution analysis, and guess-the-move processing require Diamond membership."],"name":"do-i-need-a-premium-membership-to-purchase-and-use-chess-books-on-chesstempo"},{"question":"Do the Chesstempo Apps support accessing the books?","answer":["Currently, the apps do not provide a reading interface, but they can be used to train book material. So for example if you've purchased a puzzle book, you can train all the puzzles contained in the book via the app. Similarly, if you've purchased an opening book, then the book repertoire can be trained on the app via the opening trainer. We are planning to provide a reading interface via the app, but in the meantime, you can use your device's browser to read the book via the chesstempo website."],"name":"do-the-chesstempo-apps-support-accessing-the-books"},{"question":"You appear to offer two ways of creating books, either directly in the book editor interface, or by importing the book from PGN. Which method do you recommend?","answer":["Currently, the book editor interface is considered an early testing release, and is still under active development. As such, we consider PGN import the most stable method of creating a Chesstempo book. Please see the [user guide book creation section](/manual/en/manual.html#bookscreating) for more details."],"name":"you-appear-to-offer-two-ways-of-creating-books-either-directly-in-the-book-editor-interface-or-by-importing-the-book-from-pgn-which-method-do-you-recommend"},{"question":"What payment methods do you support?","answer":["We currently accept Paypal (for non-EU customers), credit or debit cards from most major card providers, alipay in China, Przelewy24 in Poland, giropay in Germany and SEPA based direct bank transfer payments in countries using the Euro. Pricing in several major currencies is supported.

For example if you have purchased a book in PGN form directly from the publisher or author, then you may have the rights to import the PGN, but you would need to check the license under which the content was provided to you to be sure it is ok to use on other platforms.","If you have not purchased the content - for example you have downloaded it from the internet without paying - then it is likely that you don't have the rights to use the content, and should not load the content onto the Chesstempo book platform. This applies even if you are only using the content as a private book. Note that just because someone is distributing the PGN for free, this does not mean the original author and/or publisher has granted permission for the PGN to be freely distributed. Those loading material that they do not have the rights to use may not only lose access to the loaded content, but may also lose access to the entire book feature if they continue to ignore this rule."],"name":"can-i-import-content-for-books-i-have-not-purchased-on-chesstempo"},{"question":"How do I create a custom set to target specific types of problems from a book I have purchased?","answer":["You'll need at least a silver membership to have access to custom set features.","Firstly, go to the [custom sets page](/custom-sets/). Now click on the \"Content\" panel toggle to open the panel. Your book purchases that contain problems will be listed here. You can now select one or more of these books to choose where the custom set's problems will be sourced from. You can now select any other criteria you'd like such as rating range , tactical motifs etc.","If you'd like to filter based on previous attempts, go to the previous attempts tab, and select your options, for example click on the history filter and choose \"Problems I always got wrong\" to create a set targeting problems you've got wrong, and are yet to get right. The default selection method is random, but you can change that on the Set Options tab. For example change from Random to Spaced Repetition or Sorted, which will in turn provide more options specific to those set types.","Once you've got all the criteria you plan to use, first click search just to make sure there are actually problems which match your criteria, and then click the Create Set button. When you go to the tactics page you'll find your custom set inside the Books folder. Click change set to pick and choose between different problem sets.","Note: Some books may come with author supplied tags, while others are community tagged, and may take some time to acquire tags for all positions. Similarly, for rating based searches it will take a few attempts from readers before ratings arrive at a stable level in order to allow difficulty based rating range sets to be effective. You can also use the personal tags feature to tag book problems yourself with any categorisation you like and create custom sets to target those categories."],"name":"how-do-i-create-a-custom-set-to-target-specific-types-of-problems-from-a-book-i-have-purchased"}]}} </script> </chess-books> </main> </div> <script> </script> <script> window.addEventListener('load', function (e) { if (window.CT && typeof window.CT.Page != 'undefined') { var page = new CT.Page( 0 ,"", 443,".chesstempo.com",30 ); if (typeof pageInitialised != 'undefined') { pageInitialised(page); } } else if (window.CT && typeof window.CT.Home != 'unefined') { var h = new CT.Home( 0 ,"", 443,".chesstempo.com",30); if (typeof pageInitialised != 'undefined') { function initP() { var p = h.getPage(); if (!p) { setTimeout(initP,40); } else { pageInitialised(p); } } initP(); } } //CT.Page.bootstrapBooks(); }); </script> </body> </html>
