Zurich 1953 Openings Index

As a d4 player, Bronstein's famous book on the Zurich Tournament seems to be invaluable. I broke down all games into groups of openings. I think the best thing to do is to choose one opening and work through the best games in that opening so this index should help.

Openings Played, sorted by frequency:

46 King's Indians - 7, 13, 20, 28, 30, 42, 43, 45, 50, 51, 58, 61, 67, 72, 73, 75, 80, 91, 100, 105, 107, 108, 114, 126, 131, 132, 139, 143, 152, 154, 158, 171, 173, 178, 180, 183, 184, 186, 189, 192, 193, 197, 199, 204, 206, 207
