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.

Bird Repertoire
I've recently returned to Bird's Opening as a means of achieving positions less scrutinized by theory. Previously, this involved preparing a line against the From and hacking away at the Classical Bir...

From latest?
Am I going potty? I could have sworn I saw not so long ago an update on the From by Nigel Davies, suggesting White was doing very nicely (with a d2-d3 idea), but I can't now see it! Am I imagining thi...

Classical Bird (vs Classical Dutch)
Looking at IM Timothy Taylor's "Bird's Opening" book, he states that he's not really sure what white's best 7th move is in the main line after 1. f4 d5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. e3 g6 4. Be2 Bg7 5. O-O O-O 6. d3 ...

1. f4 f5 ?
So now that I'm playing the Bird regularly, I've started running into this response occasionally.

Discussion of 1. f4 approaches
Okay, I am creating a new thread, with hopes that we can discuss either side of the board after 1. f4. I value ideas for both Black and White, as they can help me and others in our choices.

Approaching the Bird
