Tail-ender Luke McShane managed to beat world number 2 Levon Aronian with the black pieces, sacrificing an exchange in the opening and avoiding a repetition of moves a few times. 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 White Repertoire Webliography. As for e4 e5 from White's perspective I don't think there are as many books, I mean White is basically the one who chooses the opening in the open games, except for The Petroff and some off beat openings. So it wasn't until last month's Western States Open that I got to play an authentic Bird's Opening against IM Ed Formanek.

D4 or the gambit 3Bc5 4.d4!?) rather than play the "quieter" Giuoco lines with 4.c3 Nf6 5.d3 (which will feature in a repertoire book by John Emms titled Beating 1.e4 e5 due in May from Everyman Chess). E4 e5, and he almost always won. Is a good repertoire book for playing 1. In human terms White's position is unpleasant to play. Instead our subsequent games (when he had White) went 1. He covers every possible response, though, not just e5. This week 1.e4 e5 was hot, as the top players categorically avoided the Semi-Open Games.
