Well, the trouble with pdf is 1) that the program is rather expensive, about 400 euros last time I checked and 2) that digital files soon end up on the different filesharer sites/nets...
Besides, I like books!

Hmm, so you really like 7...Nh5? ???
I lost a game against it in Cork against an IM, Gavin Wall, who came up with a bunch of pawns sacs that I had really underestimated...

As stated earlier in the thread, there's not much I can do about the coverpaper. The only choice was 'laminated cover or not', but I'll mention it to the people at trafford and in time they might be able to improve this...

A full repertoire book would indeed be tempting, then I could recommend some other fun variations / gambits as well, instead of the mandatory solid lines like 1...c5 2.c3/Nc3 and 1...e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5.
That is, some other openings you wouldn't approve!
