Batsford's Modern Chess Openings - de Firmian
As seen in Netflix's "The Queen's Gambit"
This book has been the standard reference work on chess openings for more than half a century and is the most comprehensive single-volume work on openings. The author, Nick de Firmian. is a world-leading openings expert and belonged to the team that prepared Deep Blue against its successful 1997 match against Garry Kasparov.

An attractive feature of the book is that each opening has an individual introduction that will typically outline its important strategic concepts, present some historical background and summarise the options available for white and black.
