It's not just what we learn about chess that can make us formidable players - it's what we remember The Oxford Companion to Chess lists 1,327 specific game openings and variants. There are many thousands more less common opening lines. It hardly needs to be said, but it is an almost impossible task for the fallible human mind to learn anything more than a fraction of these countless opening variations. Nor does it need to be stated that understanding the tactical and strategic purpose of a particular chess opening is crucial for any player wishing to improve their game. Equally important, however, is memorizing and accurately recalling those opening move sequences, which can often be extensive. Understanding and memorizing chess moves are not mutually exclusive activities but are actually complementary to each other-two sides of the same coin. However, as any chess player will know, memorizing and understanding a chess opening takes time-lots of time. Club players, who often have day jobs, frequently find themselves caught between the desire to expand their opening repertoire and the considerable time sacrifice required to thoroughly learn, understand, and memorize a new opening, usually through many hours of repetitive rote learning. But what if the time investment could be short-circuited? What if it were possible to memorize any desired chess opening sequence (and its many variations) in just minutes rather than days, weeks, or even months? And what if it were also possible to memorize those openings and variations with flawless accuracy, without ever confusing one opening for another? With a repertoire of dozens (or more) openings and their variations firmly secured in your mind, just imagine the edge such an ability would give you over any opponent By learning and using the detailed memory technique presented in this book, you can achieve that remarkable ability and become a formidable Chess Master Mind.
