The first edition had no coverage of the Old-Indian and I would be surprised if the second edition had. I wonder if this treats 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 Nbd7 4.Be3 e5 5.Nge2, which was completely ignored.
Agree with mnb that that is a challenging system for the unprepared. (I was online)
Perhaps this will be in the f3, g4 section. Forgive the inconsistent caps in headings. Lots of (
sic) reqd.
Look forward to any reviews.
Much overlap with Bauer's book?
Who are they btw? No disrespect, but never heard of them. Perhaps one of our Dutch compadres could enlighten. Enthusiastic amateurs? 2200? below?
