Greetings,

LeeRoth
Thank you for the link! 

In view of that, I'm wondering if this thread should be merged with the one which you've posted above!?

It also is a example of what I was talking about when I made my suggestion for a Library "sticky".

In terms of content it's got a pretty thorough survey of the various modern ways (without an early a6) that black can play vs white Be3/Be2 set ups, but is more of a repitoire book than anything else vs the Keres/English attack etc - it focuses exclusively on the early d5 stuff vs the English for instance. A couple of lines vs the Keres covered.

It's a good book and I think took a very sensible approach to it's content - the lines without an early a6 are much less theoretically dense than the ones with it in so they're well suited to a starting out book. Also much less well covered elsewhere.

For an overall theoretical overview I'm afraid you'd need a large number of books - and I'm not sure there is one on the main line with an early a6 in. It would be a frightening book that!

It's recommended although it doesn't cover everything so you will need to some updating. The author first wrote a book on this line in the 1970s !!

We had a prior thread on it.  It's a very good book, but it concentrates on the Modern Scheveningen lines.

Do anyone have this book ?

Starting out : The Scheveningen . By IM Craig Pritchett.
Any opinion on this book ? I dont know in what shape the scheveningen is today. Seems to be an interesting book.
