I'm considering which opening book I'll use
PCC opening books are made from world's best matches
to know what is PCC
you can type "PCC chess" to find info in the search engines
I'm using PCC March
and they are releasing the opening book every month!
the newest one is PCC Sep
and PCC Oct will be released soon
PCC March is superb, I will decide if I'll move from March to Sep
