He uses solid classical lines that merge beautifully with the QGD: after all the move-order subtleties are navigated, you get a fully equal or better position with ...Nf6, ...d5, ...c5 ...e6 and ...b6 most of the time. Against the Blackmar-Diemer, d5 is vacated by capturing on e4 (and f3), then ...e6 comes (the Euwe system).

The theory and move-order issues are covered thoroughly. For example, after a private meeting at a tournament, Avrukh had asked Ntirlis's permission to use one of these ideas in Avrukh's own book GM Rep 11. Avrukh published it, then Adam's defeated Karjakin with it!

Against the Catalan, we get 4.dxc4 with ...a6 and ...Nc6, where Back goes for active play and may sacrifice his b pawn. It's a current theoretical hotspot, and this section looks like part of a GM Rep book. Part of this section had been jointly developed with Aagard before being included in this book.

It's a new book, so beyond that I don't think I should go into detail.

Edit: oops, fllg beat me to it while I was writing this! Agree with everything.

The book is excellent in all aspects. I quite like the format with chapters introducing the general ideas followed by the theoretical coverage. Especially the introduction to the Queen´s Gambit Exchange is very illuminating for someone with very limited experience with this structure like me.

Regarding the recommendation against the d-pawn specials it is generally based on Black playing ...0-0, ...c5, ...b6 and ...Ba6 or ...Bb7 if appropriate.

Against the BDG it is the Euwe-Defence with delayed castling.

The whole repertoire is based on solid lines allowing Black to gradually equalize and if White plays to ambitiously he may even take over the initiative.

Anyone who has the book can kindly tell me what is roughly the repertoire vs. "minor" lines? I mean vs. Colle, London, Ritcher-Veresov, Blackmar-Diemer, etc. I am unsure on buying the book for now, unless I know a bit more about these lines... Thanks.

It's on Forward Chess.  I bought it there the day it came out.


Was it for Apple or Android? I have Android, but don't see any new books later than Best Play. Been waiting for Nikos book for some time now!


Apple.  The new Tal book is there too.


I asked ForwardChess, and it turns out it was quite simple. I hadn't updated the app. After that, I could buy the book!

Where do you see that, grandpatzer? It strangely appears as "Out of print" on Amazon.


I only checked a few major online shops and to this day I see it available from newinchess.com and scacco.it

It was available on Amazon from a third-party seller yesterday. But there were only two left! I think this book will be very popular.

Hello wolfsblut,

Yes, both the KIA and English have been included and the KIA is an update to the line we were offering in the PTF book.

The book is at the editing phase now. I think that we need at least 5-6 weeks before the book becomes a real thing sitting on the selves, but to be honest this is just a personal estimation and in reality i have no clue!


If I'm not misunderstanding, then isn't this a complete answer to Flank openings (barring really eccentric options like 1. b3 or 1. b4). You're basically saying that the book covers 1. c4, 1. Nf3 and 1. d4 in one tome. If that's true, I think it's well worth advertising. One of the problems with my repertoire is exactly the move orders from the flank openings (I play mostly QID and NID). For instance  1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 e6 3.Nf3 Bb4 4.Qc2 O-O is a bit awkward because it looks a lot like a traditional 1. d4 line yet plays VERY differently due to the lack of central tension. I think it's also probably a tiny bit worse for Black than the true Nimzo.
