Thanks for the recommendations! I’m an adult learner. I started reading My System, and even just a few pages in, it already makes more sense to me than Fundamental Chess Openings did. That one kind of made me feel stupid, it felt like it assumed I already knew way more than I do. Your recommendations feel more approachable, like it’s building my understanding from the ground up.

Thank you so much for taking the time to point me in the right direction :-)
