From Gambit book - query A long time ago, I saw a book of a From Gambit correspondence theme tournament in the 1960s(?): I think it was in German, or maybe it was Dutch (it wouldn't have made much difference to me in those da...

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... Started 12/02/16 at 00:35:06 by RdC	2	2417	12/02/16 at 16:07:58 By: MartinC
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. Started 05/20/15 at 18:48:09 by Sylvester	2	3326	10/29/16 at 04:43:06 By: AntonioAg

Tim Taylor's Bird book I just got this book and I'm having a great time working through it. I love Tim Taylor's writing. He's a natural as a chess annotator--lively and funny. Where he's really good is at organizing the ... Started 01/27/06 at 04:28:23 by bravehoptoad « Pages 1 2 3 4 5 all »	63	46800	08/12/14 at 00:43:36 By: Pcal
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... Started 11/29/11 at 17:13:07 by HgMan « Pages 1 2 3 all »	40	33741	08/12/14 at 00:25:30 By: Pcal

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.
