Fundamental Chess Openings by Van der Sterren? It's a large tome, full of instructive explanation on all the openings. Not so much analysis.
Opening reference works (with tables and tables full of moves) aren't really being made anymore. Amateur players don't need them, they need to understand ideas rather than learn lines by rote. Serious players have databases and engines. Well, there is MCO-15, but it got bad reviews.
I haven't gotten an opening book for a long time and I don't have anything that is less than 10 years old. I am thinking of buying a single volume opening reference. The landscape of the openings is a lot different nowadays with computers being so strong.
Anyone care to share their advice on what book is best?
