Grandmaster Yasser Seirawan takes us through the history of “good” openings. What did Emanuel Lasker say? Why was the Ruy Lopez all the rage and why is the Alekhine passé? Much like fashion, there are different defenses that trend hot with the passing years. Seirawan also shares a story about U.S. Junior star Daniel Naroditsky.

Openings include:
C67 Ruy Lopez, Berlin defence, open variation
B04 Alekhine’s defence, modern, Larsen variation
