Opening books on black openings, excluding full opening repertoires for black. Every major defense has been covered, with the most common ones, such as the Sicilian, Spanish, or the Nimzo represented with multiple books. Every review is somewhat subjective, but I’ve tried not to be biased based on what openings I personally like.
