Summary: ...What he said!
Comment: I don't want to plagiarize, so I'll just say the review below from "Reader in Silicon Valley" is spot-on. I agree with every word of why he recommends this book. The breadth is remarkable, the number of games and depth of analysis are both superb, and the book is well-laid out, with lots of clear, helpful diagrams. The author's own advice of how to use it is best: find the openings you most like to play and play over the games that use these openings (which are easy to locate in the book). Then play some games just for fun. As others have stated, these aren't blitz or coffeehouse or street games, they're all from tournaments played under tournament conditions (or what were cloeset to tournament conditions in 1650...a few of the games are old, but well worth replaying). This is the sort of book that makes one wonder "Why didn't someone do this before?" (The answer, of course, is that modern computer data bases make this concept more feasible than it would have been ten years ago. This book was clearly compiled from computer data bases, and the trees and many game comments came directly from not human analysis, but computer analysis, probably using some Chessbase product. No matter, the end results are superb.)
Buy this book!

Summary: Indispensable
Comment: I agree with everything the reader below says about this book. If you're a club or correspondence player, or like to set your chess computer to play "tricky" or "unconventional" openings, this is THE book to get. Along with Schiller's Big Book of Busts, which alas is out of print, it's ideal to avoid traps that can kill your game before you get out the gate. Some of these games are amazing...what's more amazing is I have fallen into some of these very traps...moves the look good at first glance, but which are devastating (for you) a few moves later. A must-own.
