There was an Easy Guide To The Scheveningen around 2000 or so.
Sicilian Scheveningen For Black By Soltis is not so good.
You mentioned the Kasparov book.
I don't have it, but I do have the one on the Classical Caro-Kann.
It is excellent in spite of its age.
I updated some of the analysis with MCO etc., but a lot of additions weren't necessar ...[text shortened]... d affordable copy.

Want more of the list ???

The recent Play the Semi Slav By Vigorito (Quality Chess) is excellent.
Play the Alatorsev if you don't like the exchange QGD

One chess book I would like to see published is a book on the Sicilian Scheveningen.
For such a high profile opening I think there is a big gap in the market for agood book on this opening.

by Harding are both good.
I prefer the latter, incredible some of the tricks 'n' traps postal
players fell into.
(When I played for Scotland in a corres match v Austria 1978-79 the

The former is very heavily analysed, you could spend days on one game.
I met TDH a few months ago, he autographed my copies.
(his 'Counter Gambits' won me quite a few games in the past)
