All the books by Chess Stars are expected to be widely available in the US in the next few months, inlcuding places like Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Each individual bookstore will decide on the price, of course  Wink

dom, and all, 

I haven't been able to find anywhere other than the chess stars site that you give for buying this book.  It runs $27 (USD) + $9.50 in shipping and handling.  This is quite an expense to buy a book sight unseen.

Who here has read the book and has any comments you'd like to share?

dom, 

I doubt GM Kosten would mind your advertising a book here!   You wouldn't be the first, and I surely hope you're not the last.  I was hoping to see the book before buying it through Chess Stars.  Failing that, I was hoping someone here had read the book and had comments.  Remerci pour votre assisstance.

Sorry  for advertising...the book is available on common websites (search google for: " Khalifman Opening for White according to Anand 6"). You'll find it on ChessStars website (Editor) and for example: http://www.newinchess.com/Shop/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductID=1406

Time is needed before reviews because book went out March 2006...and contains many detailed analysis to assess. Watson last review on www.theweekinchess.com is Feb 2006 review

Hi, 

There have been discussions in a couple of different threads about Khalifman's book, but I haven't seen any coherent critiques or reviews of the book itself here.  Currently, the book is very difficult to get in the United States.  Is it worth getting, and for whom?
