Does anyone understand and can explain how the charts work in the book,
Chess Openings the Easy Way, by Nick de Firmaian?

Can't figure out how to read it.


thanks

I guess nobody else has a copy of the book. Perhaps the tables are
the same as the ones in NCO. If so, the following explanation might
help you:

If De Firmian's tables are different, could you post a small example?

They are similar, but I will have to check this out a little closer.
Give me a day or so and I will see if I can post what de Firmaians looks
like. Thanks for the reply.
