Hey all, it's me again. A couple days ago I put up a long post requesting advice regarding certain books, and this is basically a revisement of that. Basically what I would like is anything that you can tell me about the books Opening Repertoire: The English by David Cummings, and A Ferocious Opening Repertoire by Cyrus Lakdawala. Specifically, are there any major holes in their repertoires? Like, are there any black lines that are skipped over?

Thanks

Go Eagles

GM Boris Avrukh’s book Beating 1.d4 Sidelines has an entire chapter devoted to playing the Black side of the Veresov and he does reference the Lakdawala book.

Thanks, but I'm looking to play the white side of the Veresov.

If you are concerned about possible holes in the repertoire, it might be useful to look into what Avrukh has written about it.
