Need an alternative to "Chess Openings for White, Explained"
Sort:
Do you want a book dealing with specifically one opening, a few, or many?
how about "Winning with the Black pieces"?
I'm looking for an alternative to "Chess Openings for White, Explained", by Lev Alburt.
I like the fact that it provides a thorough opening book for a player to study and apply.
I dislike the fact that it is based upon the Scotch Gambit. While the Scotch Gambit may be sound, it does not fit with my playstyle. It is a bit too sharp for me, and I am umcomfortable with the black bishop-white pawn interaction on white's queenside. Essentially, the Scotch Gambit is a bit too open for my taste and playstyle.
Can anyone recommend a book that provides a semi-complete opening book, but that does not rely upon the Scotch Gambit.
Thank you in advance.
