Early move order in London system

 So now you try to convist us that a beginner who dont understand pawn structures and strategic plans is capable to value a repertoire book in adition to hes question, which is irrelevant with your suggestions!!

You are giving us hard time here Kindaspogney. Take a time out... 

This is what I found (in the beginning of Averbakh's Chess Endings Essential Knowledge):

"... the study of the simplest endings should precede the analysis of the openings and the middlegame."

I have mentioned the quote before.

I did not specify a repertoire book. I attempted to provide information to enable the player to choose something at an appropriate level. I see no reason to believe that the reader could not learn something from sample games - probably more from sample games in a Starting Out book.

First of all, I do not see it as a yes-or-no thing. Books are helpful to varying degrees. I think there is some value in a player making decisions rather than having someone else do the deciding. I tried to provide information to help the player make a reasonable choice. Also, it is not inconceivable that the player would want to buy more than one book - perhaps including a second one for use as a reference for looking up more variations or simply as a source for more games to look at.

Boring

I certainly would not want to claim that I understand your concept of "right information".

 " I did not specify a repertoire book " 

 Accidentally there are five in your list. You are right, you didnt specify a repertoire book, just gave five of them, which is the point of our case.

 "  I see no reason to believe that the reader could not learn something from sample games "

 Ofcourse he will learn. He will see piece placement, he will read ideas and plans but that is irrelevant with hes question when in the Colle Whites play Bb2 and Nd2 and why ? If the OP doesnt have the ability to buy both books in Zukertor and Colle and read seperate the concepts, he is lost! Especially reading the repertoire books which are reffering nothing on this.

 The problem is why to give him such an information to read about? To satisfy your belief that you serve the chess.com community or to make something worth value when it doesnt?

No you didn't. You attempted to give informations about providing a list of books have nothing to do with the OP questions. I am not sure about your motivation but I feel confident you don't understand in any case the inappropriate of your actions. We can safely assume that you find satisfaction for your self to provide these informations for uncertain reasons but with all to respect stop claiming for your self that you PROVIDE help.

You don't.

The OP who creates a post questioning on something , requires a specific answer and not a bibliography. If you want to escort your answer with a book , you must be responsible to identify and include the appropriate one, that match the needs of the OP with out confusing him about what is better to read and why. In any other case you either Trolling , fooling your self , that you help chess.com community or even worst...you MERCHANDISE products.

I hope from now on, you should be more Responsible. Good luck! with the services you freely? provide.

My belief was that the player might value more explanation about one or the other of those openings, and I acted in accordance with that belief.

" My belief was that the player might value more explanation about one or the other of those openings, and I acted in accordance with that belief. "

Your belief is not objective in what is appropriate for the OP to read but in what you feel for your self is best to provide as a help. If you ever manage to clarify this , then you might start being helpful.

Sometimes people try to help each other with out know how or because they think that they know!

See the links that I provided with the books.

I will not be taking orders from you.

That's not an order! It's a delusion of yours.
