| About Me | |||||||||||||||||
| I am a correspondance chess player rated 2300. I play in the AJEC (Association des Joueurs d'Echecs par Correspondance). My favourite opening with White is the Bird opening (1.f4). With black, i play the French defence (and especially the Mac Cutcheon variation) against 1.e4 and the Dutch defence(Stonewall or classical Dutch) against 1.d4, 1.c4 or 1.Nf3. I like to collect books on my favourite openings. Any suggestion of title (especially concerning the French defence) will be warmly welcomed. ------------------------- Books on the Bird opening ------------------------- Euwe M., Theorie der Schach Eröffnungen, Teil VI-VII Indische Spezialitäten, 156pp, 10pp on the Bird opening (from p143 to p152) Ivanov V., Bird's opening 1.f4 A02, 2003, 39pp Ivanov V., Bird's opening 1.f4 d5 A03, 2003, 50pp Matanovic A., Rabar B. and Molerovic M., Encyclopaedia of chess openings, Sahovski informator, 584pp, 5pp on the Bird (from p18 to p22) O'Connell K.J., Bird's opening, The Chess Player, 1983, 176pp Pachman L., Teoria moderna en ajedrez, Aperturas Cerradas, Coleccion Escaques, 1970, 459pp, 17pp on the Bird opening (from p437 to p453) Picket L.M., Amodern approach to Bird's opening, 1974, 28pp Schiller E., How to play the From gambit, Chessworks unlimited, 1992, 104pp Schwarz R., Handbuch der Schach Eröffnungen, 1.f2-f4 die Bird Eröffnung, Schachfirma Fruth, 1997, 156pp Soltis A., Winning with 1.f4, Chess Digest, 1992, 99pp Soltis A., Bird Larsen Attack, Chess Digest 1996, 135pp Taimanow M., Holländisch bis Bird Eröffnung, 1983, 256pp, 35pp on the Bird opening (from p214 to p248) The Complete Encyclopaedia of chess openings, Bird's opening I.
