Having just received the FCO in the mail, I am more than completely embarrassed to say that I now own 16 books on opening theory, plus 7 DVD's on specific openings, plus 2 DVD's on general openings, plus 4 e-books on specific openings.
This is way beyond embarassing. Now that I have said my confession, what is my penance?
Seriously, if you don't own a book on opening theory, I suggest starting with the FCO. GM Paul van der Sterren is absolutely brilliant AND easy to understand. His writing has just the right amount of depth and detail for anyone Class B and below - an estimate. For those Class A and above, well, they know what books to buy.
This made me chuckle and makes me wonder how I should feel ? I have more than a dozen books on the sicilian(s) alone ! I also have about a dozen on the french !
