Hi! I'm new to the forums and I have a question.
I wanted to more deeply study the four knights opening, and tried to find a book for it, but the only one my local chess book store has is "The Four Knights" by Pinski. I wanted to ask if that's a good read, and if not, can you recommend me a better one? (FYI, I DON'T want an endless list of all variations with no explanation and such, but rather a well-described guide, which at every variation says why you should play it, and how you should try to play in the middle game.)
I'm also looking for a good all-round opening book, but from what I've heard MCO fits into the description of what I don't want. I'd like some suggestions for that too.
Thanks in advance 😀,

Originally posted by LordDraculaI have not seen the Pinski book,but it's an everyman chess product,right?That should be exactly what you're looking for.For openings,I like their books the best.No endless reems of lines,but clear explanation of ideas,completed with brief,to the point analyses and special attention to the key points in every variation.Usually also features an intresting section on the pawn structures.
