Reviews

[Jonathan Wijaya · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have 5th edition. For completeness is OK, but not for critical point of view. Some complex middlegames strategy must be learnt without guidance.
It is suitable for reference and not for studying chess openings beginning with 1. e4

[Serge Pierro · Rating 3 out of 5]

The definitive source of opening analysis and theory, before the days of computers. Still relevant to those interested in opening theory.
