After 1. f4 e5 2. fxe5 d6 3. exd6 Bxd6 4. Nf3 g5 ... Started 03/22/10 at 01:33:46 by Fromper |

TN against the From's gambit (Lasker).
Hello,
I am not a strong player (1900), but I found an TN against From's gambit and just wanted to know your point of view. I have only played it in blitz, though. I just do not play the Bir... Started 01/05/09 at 15:40:00 by DrSnuggles |

Playing d5 and Nc6 against the Bird, good or bad?
Hi everyone.
I' ve been looking for a "clear" system against the Bird, one that will not be a refutation, but hopefully give me playable positions without needing to learn too much theory. I... Started 06/18/08 at 13:13:33 by Felipao |

Bird's to Austrian (Pirc)
In a recent league game, the opening moves were 1. d4 Nf6 2. f4 g6 3. e3 Bg7 4. Bd3 O-O. At this stage, playing Black I wondered about the idea 5. e4 entering an Austrian style formation at the cost o...

New Bird's Opening Book by Lakdawala
Has anyone received a copy of this book yet? I'm thinking about buying it. It's almost 450 pages but the author is loquacious/verbose so page count might be a false indicator of depth.
