King's Indian Attack
I like to play sometimes the King's Indian Attack and i have almost all the books on the subjet. But i never found serious analysis and maybe the best set up for black : 1.e4 (or 1.g3 or Nf3) c5 2.Nf3...

Popularity of 1.c4?
I was curious about the popularity of 1.c4 and ran an opening report in Megabase 2014. Over 383K games starting 1.c4 were identified and the "fashion index" graph (distribution of games relative to t...

Against the English, any variations of the Dutch?
Is it possible to play the Dutch against the English? 1.c4 e6 2. (white heading into the English) followed by 2...f5? Thanks.

Reaching the catalan with reti or english
Hi,
I've been reading Avrukh's book on d4, in which he recommends to play the catalan. I was wondering how you can reach this opening without playing 1. d4. The number of move-orders are in my pe... Started 06/17/09 at 13:06:32 by jitb |

Problems in Marin's repertoire?
Last year I put all of Marin's analysis and game quotes into Chessbase format and ran Houdini to double-check. It's a nice and pretty database, but I never had the time to actually LEARN the lines. U...

Question about Marin repertoire
I'm wondering if there's a bit of a move-order issue with Marin's (wonderful) English books.
Suppose the game starts 1 c4 e6 2 g3 d5 3 Nf3 Nf6 4 Bg2 c5 5 00 Nc6. I don't think Marin discusses thi... Started 07/07/11 at 23:47:47 by IMJohnCox |

Dutch against flank openings
If I remember well there was a book on this, which concluded that 1...f5 does not work too well against 1. Nf3 and 1.c4 but unfortunately I can't remember the exact lines, and, even worse, they don't ...

Marin move order issue versus Dutch
I played a game recently which I think shows up a small move order issue with the Marin English books. The game went 1.c4 f5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Nc3 e5 4.Nf3 Nc6 5.d4 e4 6.Nh4 d6. This was fine and I've played...

1.c4 g5!? BORG (Or, Resistance is Futile.)
I'm getting good games with this, and always have, as far as my blitz. Is this just very uncharted, or does it have serious flaws?
Usually, I get either some tactical melee with: 1. c4 g5 2... Started 01/24/11 at 11:32:54 by Merovingian |

KIA vs. KID
Is there any theory on the line that comes out when black responds with a KID against white’s KIA setup?

1.c4 e6 from Black's point of view.
I plan to have 1.c4 e6 as a secondary weapon against 1.c4 and 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 e6 as a secondary weapon against 1.Nf3. I am happy to transpose into a Ragozin QGD, QGE or a Catalan with Bb4+. Apart from ...

1.c4 xx 2.Nc3 or 1.c4 xx 2.g3 ?
1.c4 with 2.g3 etc.. can be a pretty brainless way to play, but it also runs into weird things like 2..h5 which actually isn't that bad. Against 1.c4 with 2.Nc3 such things is nonsense. Sometimes you ...
