No, it was not an obvious question.
Maybe a little suspicious.

But i just bought Kindermann's book and before i invest a lot of time in that, i like to know what might be better or even what's wrong..

Thank you for your ideas about Nc6 and c6.

I saw Nakamura play c6, and then i thougt: "didn't he read Kindermann?". But probably Nakamura knows better.

Kindermann's is a good book, the 7. ... Qe8 system (followed by 8. d5 a5) is also the most appealing to me, so I liked his recommendations.

But you need to know quite a few lines as virtually all of White's responses (including the various anti-Dutch systems) make sense..

Since I owned Kindermann's "Leningrad System" I have regularly been playing the Leningrad and I think it is a very nice line to have at one's arsenal. Because this book advocates 7...Qe8 , I only play this line but I really would like to add 7...Nc6 to my repertoire as an alternate. After the main move 8.d5, 8...Na5 is the more sound option while 8...Ne5 is crazy and very entertaining. With the latter, I know games where Black sacs "a few" pieces to demolish white pawn cover (ie.h2, g3,f2) then proceeds to win in style. But I assume that is not everyone's cup of tea since I also think it should be objectively dubious to pursue such an approach at every game. I am really curious to see what line this new book will advice, if it is ever made out to the book shelves I mean.
Kindermann's book is very nice for those who consider playing the Leningrad. Maybe it is the best opening book I have ever owned, and I have lots of them believe me.

According to the Everyman website its now due for August 2010. I can't wait to find out what line will be recommended. I really hope that its 7...Nc6 as thats what I've been playing lately, with great success. Perhaps the main repertoire choice could be with 8...Na5 but a extra chapter with 8...Ne5 for the mad hackers.

All we really need now is a GM repertoire book on the Dutch and this would make my year. Quality Chess, please take note

We don't really need another book on 7...Qe8 as Kindermann has wrapped this one up for years to come. Also 7...c6 is good but a bit passive, as already mentioned.

Don't get your hopes up too much, McDonald's books are seldom heavy on theory as he prefers to point out useful strategic stuff.

7...Nc6 is an interesting line, but 8.d5 Na5 9.Qa4 is something of a headache for black (although quite rare in practice in my experience), and the main mainline nowadays is shifting towards b3-systems a la Avrukh, so even if you find something nice vs Qa4 you might not get to reel it out.

One thing that would interest me, would be if McD takes a closer look at different new(ish) ideas for black, for example how Bartel handles the Leningrad by postponing d6. That would have been an obvious candidate for the Dangerous Weapons book on the Dutch, but evidently there was no Leningrader in the author team...

Neil does his usual excellent job of explaining all the key strategical ideas and common tactical motifs to the club player, while presenting a repertoire. Plenty of Bartel games are included for sure! In the main line Leningrad, both 7 Nc3 c6 and 7...Nc6 8 d5 Na5 are covered.

This is fantastic news, I've been playing 7...Nc6 8 d5 Na5 for the past six months, with excellent results. A book on it will just make my year.
