Hi to all! 

Any suggestion about 1.d4 repertoire book?

I'd like to switch from my 1.e4 repertoire to 1.d4. I am studying several games but now I need to organize my ideas and start to choose some lines.

Thx in advance!

I can recommend you to look at the London system. There are 3-4 books about it, all good imho so it is more a matter of taste which to choose.

Too many books out there. It's not so simple to find the "right one". One with good explanations and not only dry & long lines with few expiations.

Very hard to answer as most give different lines.

Grandmaster Repertoire 1.d4 (4 books I believe) is mostly fianchetto lines (Catalan, Fianchetto KID, etc.)

 

Playing 1.d4 (2 books) recommends Exchange QGD, Saemisch KID, 5.f3 Benko, Russian Grunfeld, etc.

 

Wojos Weapons (3 books) starts 1.Nf3, but with the exception of 1 line of the symmetrical English, all d4 stuff - avoids Benko, Benoni, Budapest, Albin

 

A Killer Chess Opening Repertoire by Aaron Summerscale - Barry Attack, 150 Attack, Colle Zukertort, etc.

 

Gotta be more specific.

You're right! So much book! A Practical Repertoire by Kornev and Moskalenko ones seems to be good from sample pages

What the f*** does being a giants fan have to do with the legitimacy of responses to questions on chess?  You are nothing more than a clown spouting out useless bulls*it!  Go play in traffic!

No, you did not hit any nerves.  I simply hate stupid people that are of zero use to society and your posts clearly show that - kinda like Trump snd his moron tweets.

Listen. I don't think it's the place or the moment to address these issues. Go talk elsewhere about these topics. Thanks.

I don't think you understand that you're not welcome. But if it makes you feel good, go ahead.

A Cunning Opening Repertoire for White by Graham Burgess is another option. Focuses mainly on the Queen's Gambit and Torre Attack.
