White Noise
Strategic Chess. Mastering The Closed Game
This book is highly instructional. It covers all the major openings that
White faces when starting out with d4 with a minimum of one game per
opening line and a maximum of three. It covers the
strategies and themes of the openings, along with deeply annotated games
move by move showing strategies for both the white and black pieces. It
does not overwhelm the reader with tons and tons of variations but
explains each concept in sentences with adequate analysis to back it up.
This book was written 10-15 years ago, but the strategies and concepts are still applicable today for these openings.
