Negative Positive
Title: waste of money for average players
Review: If you like books that give pages and pages of annotated lines, with little explanation of strategy and ideas of the opening lines that it gives...then this is the book for you. If you want to learn more about these openings, which one would need to understand the underlying strategies which this book does not give...then this book is a waste of money. If you make up the less than 1% of chess players that comprise masters and up, then this book would make a great addition to your growing collection. If you are not a master, which I am sure you are not, then look elsewhere for books on these lines.
