We do not study Openings from books like the MCO or NCO. These books are more of reference books. Books like "The Ideas Behind the Chess Openings" by Reubin Fine gives us the IDEAS that governs each individual Opening. It is better to understand them than to just memorise tomes of Opening LInes & their variations by rote without understanding the strategy behind the Openings.
I HAVE TROUBLE STUDYING CHESS OPENING BOOKS, I HAVE MCO AND NCO
BOOKS, BUT WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME ADVICE AS TO WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO STUDY CHESS OPENINGS USING THESE BOOKS,
I AM NOT AN ADVANCED PLAYER AND STILL LEARNING, I FIGURE WITH THE EXPERTICE OF MEMBERS ON THIS SITE, I SHOULD GET SOME GOOD FEEDBACK
THANKS TONY (antne003)
