I'm gonna hit the books now and rework my repertoire. Do you have any opening book recommendations? Preferably something really wordy instead of 1 that just spams lines (d4 white, e5 black, qga black)?
"Fundamental Chess Openings" by GM Paul Sterren
It has variations throughout it, but it's mostly GM Sterren talking about the general ideas and common plans for each side. It covers all the main openings and defenses, including the 3 you mentioned.
Thanks! I don't think I would be able to keep it if I kept playing either lol
