This is the Kramnik 1998 power opening repetoire!

Ah yes, the QGA. Gosh, Black has a lot of openings he can play, doesn't he?

The main line with 7 Bb3. And actually I have a testimonial here: in flagrant breach of my publisher's copyright, I expect, I sent that chapter to a friend recently to prepare him for a game with a GM which he needed to win to make an IM norm. He didn't win, but he did tell me he achieved an advantage out of the opening and that my stuff had contributed by 'giving him confidence'. So it may or may not be crap but at least it's presented in a confidence-inspiring manner.

John: And how about the QGA? Which line?

Ah yes - well, I've forgotten what line I suggest - something very solid no doubt - but I do recall that my game for the Budapest was played by the proprietor himself, the great Malcolm P, against a young Peter Svidler.

It's just gone to the publisher; I think some time in June/early July in the US and late July here, but I'm not sure.

How will it all fit in - well, ruthless surgery by my editor is part of the answer. Many of my word-children did not make it to adulthood. Apart from that, well, how much theory do you need to Start Out? You have to start somewhere. But I agree that it is something of a departure (my idea rather than Everyman's, actually), so we shall see whether it works or not.

damn how are you going to fit all these lines into a Starting Out book?! I like that they are "real" lines though. when will it be out?

John, I've liked your previous books (I own Deviations and SO: Alekhine's), but that list sure looks like you've bitten off more than you can chew in one volume!  I look forward to seeing it, though.

Hello, nice to see Cox recommending alot of crtical systems (much of them in my repertoire)... but geez can those fit in one book?  Shocked 

p.s. choice of 5. e3 and 6. c5 against Chebanenko is a very revealing choice. Having investigated the Chebanenko for awhile, I actually think 5. c5 is not the best move some players (e.g. Timman) think it is, there are several lines which are not so clearly promising for White (see Chebanenko thread), so now i think 5. c5 is of roughly equal status to say 5. e3 and 5. a4.  With the "normal" 3. Nc3 e6 4. Nc3 move order, one would have thought 5. c5, 5. a4 or even 5. Bg5 would have been a better fit, evidently not so! Wink

Bayonet KID, Nf3/Rb1 Exchange Grunfeld, Modern main line Benoni, the fianchetto and Rb1 stuff against the Benko, Qc2 Nimzo, QGD Exchange with Nge2, the Slav with 6 Ne5, (or e3 then c5 against 4...a6) Botvinnik, Anti-Moscow and Marshall gambits, 5 Nbd2 against the Albin, the Tarrasch main line with 12 Qa4, 3 cxd5 against the Tschigorin and then bxc3 rather than the fashionable Bxc3. Oh and 4 Bd3 against the English Defence.

Generally the present day main lines in fact. It's a Starting Out book, mind,so no great pretensions to originality as opposed to showing existing theory and ofering general explanation.

John Cox, can you elaborate on the lines you recommend in your forthcoming book?

Oh, on the contrary, the sharper the line, the better it is for CC.  But I'm planning a new repertoire with an early Nf3, which engendered by original question.

the Noteboom is a huge pain. Two recent games that led to quick white victories were Onischuk-D Schneider, San Diego US ch, and Nakamura- I Schneider, Foxwoods, both games white played main line with Re1, so maybe this is the place to look.
