its not an easy read, youll need a chesset to read. this book also give you a better comprehension of "descriptive notation".
Their is alot of stuff in their thats good for any chessplayer to know ..
and not much about opening theroy has changed from 1894-2017. mabye few subtelties but not much of a differince.
Euwe & Kramer's two Middlegame books.

How about 1 e4 c6 2 d4 d5 3 e5 Bf5 4 Nf3 ?
How about 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 e6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Nc6 5 Nc3 Qc7 6 Be3 a6 7 Qf3 ?
How about 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bb5 a6 4 Bxc6 dxc6 5 O-O Bg4 6 h3 h5 7 d3 Qf6 8 Nbd2 ?
How about 1 d4 d5 2 c4 c6 3 Nf3 Nf6 4 Nc3 a6 ?
How about 1 Nf3 f5 2 d3 d6 3 e4 e5 4 Nc3 Nc6 5 exf5 Bxf5 6 d4 ?
@stevenstarmantis Try morphy's games of chess. That's a really great book.

I think that was volume 4.
