Opening For White according To Anand 1.e4, Volume 4

Alexander Khalifman

  • Difficulty: Advanced, Master
  • Category: Opening
  • Rating: 2000-2200, 2200+
  • Readability: 4/10
?
How difficult it is to read the book without using a board. A book with 10/10 readability is a bedtime story, a book with 1/10 is a puzzle book full of variations. Readability doesn’t represent the quality of the book.
  • Usefulness: 6/10
?
Usefulness is a measure of how useful the book is for chess improvement within the topic it covers. Books with a high usefulness score should help you improve quicker than those with a low score.
