Reviews
Glenn Flear reviews three repertoire books: The Open Games with Black by Martin Lokander (Everyman), Playing 1.e4 e5 - A Classical Repertoire (Nikolaos Ntirlis, Quality), and A Chess Opening Repertoire for Blitz and Rapid by Evgeny Sveshnikov and his son Vladimir (New In Chess). Also, two new books on the Scandinavian Defence: Sergey Kasparov’s Understanding the Scandinavian (Gambit) and Vassilios Kotronias’ The Safest Scandinavian (Chess Stars).
