    Essential Database for Bird's Opening

    Posted by Unknown on Oct 3rd 2016

    The reason I give it 4/5 stars is that this will be the last database on the Bird according to the author. If you want to be sure about having all the Bird games this is the database you want. I play 1.b3 and will transpose into Bird's Opening given the opportunity to do so. Eventually, I intend to have 1.b3 and 1.f4 in my repertoire. By the way, you also need the Oleinikov CD on Bird's Opening to have a complete set, so to speak.
