The book consists of 202 short "openers" typical of average players, arranged according to the classical opening variations and by level of difficulty. In Chess Openings: Traps and Zaps, Bruce Pandolfini uses his unique "crime and punishment" approach to provide all the previously missing explanation, instruction, practical analyses, and much, much more. Consequently, these classical opening patterns can serve as little more than references to the average player.
