It's very good and features some of his recent tournament games. He now has two columns, 1e4 Other, and anti-Sicilians. That's a lot. <br /><br />Perhaps he's got a break in tournaments. I'm looking forward to more updates.<br /><br />I wonder what happened to David Fitzsimons, former publisher of Anti-Sicilians. https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1682373845 ChessPub Forum/1. e4 ... https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1682373845 Tue, 16 May 2023 12:38:15 GMT Wanted to circle back and say thanks to those that responded.  This thread has indeed got me interested to prepare against the Center Game too (and I'm going to go with the ...Be7 plan instead of ...Bb4, regardless of Bd2) https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1602166490 ChessPub Forum/1. e4 ... https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1602166490 Mon, 17 Oct 2022 19:52:55 GMT Bauer's book is on sale at New in Chess for only €4.99 / $5.38. I would say it is worth more than that, particularly if you are interested in 1.e4 Nc6 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 Nf6 4.Nc3 g6 5.d5 Nb8 and related lines, which is about one-third of the contents. <a href="https://www.newinchess.com/sale?utm_content=autumn_sale" target="_blank">https://www.newinchess.com/sale?utm_content=autumn_sale</a><br /><b>Edited: </b><br /><div>Oops!

This didn't prevent White from scoring 58% according to my database. Fine or not, Black needs good defensive skills. Like I already wrote. And that's the exact opposite of "Caro played aggressively". https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1629004343 ChessPub Forum/1. e4 ... https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1629004343 Mon, 16 Aug 2021 08:04:31 GMT <a href="https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1629004343/0#0">Vishnu wrote</a> on 08/15/21 at 05:12:23:<br /><div id="5D627863657E0B03">Also if some one could recommend books exclusively for these openings meant for beginners so that I can learn all the fundamentals, basic plan and ideas for that particular opening, I would be grateful. </div><!--5D627863657E0B03--><br />John Emms, <i>First Steps 1.e4 e5</i>. This is a great book for beginners, but it contains a lot of stuff that many of us more experienced players ought to know and don't. It will serve you well both in your games with White (if Black answers 1.e4 with ...e5) and those with Black (if White plays 1.e4). I wish it had been around when I learned to play. https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1602864408 ChessPub Forum/1. e4 ... https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1602864408 Thu, 13 May 2021 02:57:08 GMT <b>This <a href="https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1602864409/0#0"><b>Topic</b></a> has been moved to</b> <a href="https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?board=caro"><i><b>Caro-Kann</b></i></a><b> by <i>Hadron</i></b> https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1580606289 ChessPub Forum/1. e4 ... https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1580606289 Sat, 1 May 2021 12:52:30 GMT Hi.<br /><br />I have read through Negi's book a lot this weekend. Apart from becoming bothered with how much Alekhine and Scandinavian lines/theory exists nowadays it was enjoyable.<br /><br />Must say his 150 attack coverage in the Pirc was very enjoyable to follow. Especially the c6 Pirc chapter. Felt like I learned a great deal and also stuff that's gonna help picking lines as black.<br /><br />Have a nice day.
