Hi

I got the book a few days ago. I have only skimmed and  I'm not realy able to evaluate the objective quality of the variations. BUT as a normal club player I must say that my impression so fare is very positive. I think I got exactly what I was looking for: An entertaining read with the potential to give me a very interesting defence as black. Lots of inspirering ideas and potential to get interesting positions. And I realy like the light tone. Good job so fare now I just hope I will actually score some points as black in my next tournament.

Thanks for your swift answer! 

And nothing would be better if there are two possibilities after 1.e4-Nc6 2.d4. 
After 2..d6 I would be a bit concerned about 3.f4 though. But I will wait for the book  Wink  Can`t wait to see what you and Houdini will come up with in this interesting opening. Thanks again.

I'm afraid you won't find coverage on the exact position 1.e4 Nc6 2.d4 d6 3.f4 (since I'm recommending 2...e5) but surely 3...e5 is the first move to try to make work.

Hello Dark Knight Smiley

Im a bit confused about the move orders. If im right the book gives: 1.e4-Nc6 2.Nf3-d6 3.d4-Nf6 with a Pirc Classic. 
But if: 1.e4-Nc6 2.d4, then I suppose you go 2...e5!? or what?

The introduction suggest this I suppose. And it would be nice if its all playable for black. NCO ( with John Nunn being responsible for the page) gives further: 3.dxe5-Nxe5 4.f4-Ng6 ( 4...Nc6!?) 5.Be3-Bb4+ 6.c3-Ba5, and asset this as "=". 
I wondered if you are of the same opinion.
BTW, I`ve  ordered the book and looking foreward to get it! 

Ben




I believe that if it is possible to play 2...e5, you should.  However (as I mention in chapter 10) if you don't like 2...e5, or don't want to bother studying it, 2...d6 will almost always transpose into other chapters in the book.

After 1.e4 Nc6 2.d4 e5 3.dxe5 Nxe5 4.f4 I am convinced that 4...Nc6 is the correct retreat, with a very satisfactory position (I won't bother with details since you'll own the book soon). Smiley

It is out in the UK/EU--you'd need to wait at least a few weeks longer in the US.  Let me know how you like it.

Thanks for this DK. I'm looking forward to the book! Is it out yet in the UK? I will be in London on 3 April and hoping to get to the Chess Centre!

If I had located the thread in my research, I would have made use of it--at the very least it would have saved me some trouble.  You guys came to many of the same conclusions I did, and located important games.  Also, I would have included a variation dealing with 1.d4 Nc6 2.d5 Ne5 3.f4 Ng6 4.e4 e5 5.dxe6 fxe6 6.Bd3 d5(!) 7.Qe2!?, which is an interesting try for white.

Everyone knows that the modern theory of the Bogolyubov Defence was forged three years ago by Stefan Buecker, linksspringer and me on this thread:

Cheesy

Did you draw on this material?

Naturally, I checked all the relevant material I could get my hands on (including Berdichevsky's ebook) but the only ones I wound up drawing on significantly were Dembo and Palliser's scotch book and Alburt and Chernin's Pirc Alert.

After 1. d4 Nc6 2. d5 Ne5 3. e4 e6 4. f4  if black does not want a draw he can always play 4...Ng6 and play will transpose to the 3.f4 variation.


Of course! Thx.
