The new edition of my chess opening book has arrived!
End December a new version was ready, with everything corrected
according to the new neural net (NNUE) evaluations, and layout
changed/updated (less info for beginners, and the former intermediate
chapter(s) now changed to 'advanced'.
The new intermediate chapters (the former chapter with 1.e4 for 'beginners')
after the updates, now are called the chapters for intermediate players,
more in line with the educational guidelines e.g the Dutch step method
(with mostly only general openig guidelines at the beginners phase).
Although the basic repertoire did not have to be changed,
many moves in variations >5 or 6 ply or so had to be updated.
March 2024: final corrections to the book, the result now
is a high quality, solid opening/repertoire book for all levels of play
(up to IM level or so).
Ofcourse it's a matter of taste at the advanced levels, what variations
you want to choose for your repertoire, but at least the lines given
in this book are solid, and give high practical chances for achieving
an opening advantage during the opening (if your opponent deviates
from the recommended lines).
