More Chess Openings: Traps and Zaps 2 (Fireside Chess Library)

No errors (so far)...
I have a copy of the first book (dated 1989) that has lots of errors, but this book appears error-free (so far; I haven't read every chess problem yet). I am happy to report that this book, like the first one, mainly appears to concentrate on the e2-e4 pawn openings, which may be a bit of a problem/pain if you favour d2-d4 instead... like me.Still, look on this 'quirk' as a good reason to learn new openings, and at least you'll soon know some of the pitfalls involved with pushing the King's pawn...

Good for beginners or basics
The book is good for basic players. Clear to read and as the cover says '...Everyday errors in openings'. Not so many books cover that aspect. So if you're a social or modest club player it's probably fine, but not otherwise. It's still those howler moves we've all either overlooked or actually done? The book doesn't over explain, it presumes u can work out opponents errors ok. If I have a grumble it's that some moves are really bad, but that's the whole point I guess.
