[Steven · Rating 3 out of 5]

Focuses exclusively on the 3...Qd6 variations. Plenty of strategy and tactics mixed in with the move-by-move analysis of the variations. And the question and answer format of this series is good for learning. I've read a few other of Lakdawala's books in this series and I'm not really a fan of his analyses. Too often his response is something like "don't worry about that my recommendation is best" and it is easy to get too far down one of his lines and then find yourself in trouble because he has brushed off alternatives.
