seemed pretty serious to me, ask chris he was at the same tourney had many chance3s to play it and avoided it each time, again we talked alot maybe he was bluffing can not dispute that, as for lying i just do not so watch the manner you speak to me if you want a response back

eddie he tried to swipe mine, but he told me he gave up the dragon DUH edm

Well, the missing out of some lines is simple if you read the introduction - Eddie says very clearly that it's a repertoire book, and so he isn't going to include analysis on lines like those. I wish he had put more in about the 11...Nxd4 or Chinese as they are the two main alternatives to facing the 12. Kb1 stuff, and also that he had more in the 10. Bb3 move-order; but, again, as it's a repertoire book, in which he feels that the 12. Kb1 stuff is OK for Black, there's no real reason to. As for the positional evaluations, then yes - I do think a few of them are wrong. But, since my FIDE is about 2-300 points below Eddie's, I'm not going to contradict him without plenty of concrete lines.

It's not perfect, no - but, to my mind, it's pretty good, and the best Dragon text I know of.

Since I showed tivikov the book at gausdal , I am interested to see what he found. Will get nic 75 shortly but could u tell me which lines I will email him now.
