There are about 8 million possible positions after a mere 8 half moves (4 moves by each player.)There are many known opening lines. Understanding of ideas is more valuable than memorisation of specific moves. Ideas can often be applied in different situations. It does not matter how much opening theory you know, you will always get into opening positions you have never reached before. The ability to improvise is invaluable. In many games played as a master chess player I have found strong moves in opening positions I have never been before.
This book includes an overview of many types of pawn formations and in many cases examples of where to place your pieces in each case.
It is designed to be read several times. Each time it is reread, you may grasp points that were previously obscure to you.
