Title: Not a good value
Product review: ICO is a typical openings reference book in that it gives the main lines in all the major openings out to 10-12 moves, some even a few moves deeper in the footnotes. An assessment of each line is given in the familiar languageless plus/minus system. But, this is a awfully skimpy book for $20. I'm sure it was meant as a light-weight reference for the amateur player to carry with him to weekend Swiss tournaments, but I'm not sure the few ounces saved over BCO or MCO would be worth it.
