Additionally, you get an informative review of every opening from White's point of view, even the ones not part of the book's repertoire.
This book, together with its companion volume, gives you the most thorough explanation of chess opening moves and ideas available.
This new, second edition has been completely revised and updated to reflect all of the latest changes, including ideas from theoretically important games, books, articles, and the author's ongoing research.
