Squeezing 1.e4 e5: a Solid Strategic Approach - Khalifman & Soloviov

its a long road to the top , if you want to rock and roll

If you want to play 1e5 , but cannot fathom the murky depths of the Ruy Lopez sidelines then this excellent book is the answer. This book teaches how to be solid , have a slight edge sometimes , keep the initiative or at least dont lose it until the deep end game. Its the perfect book for me.
