@Marinfan:
Thx for the reply
From the link you provided:
It seems that 6....a6 is OK; that 7.f5 is not the most critical reply; that 6....Bg4 is possibly better than 6..a6.

The thread on Marin's book has been taken over again by those who want to discuss the contents:
http://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1147283572/119#119
From page 8. of this thread on, there is some critissism on the book, and some questions are raised
about the recommendations.

Hello, 

This might be useful http://www.qualitychessbooks.com/documents/Beating%20the%20Open%20games.pdf

This was in thread on Marin's book, which got taken over by a very tedious, at least for me, language discussion. 

Bye John S

@NMB: I agree with youre recommendation that black must not castle too soon.
I am not so sure about 7.f5 being the best move:
Both 7....Na5 and 7....b5 8.Bb3,Na5 seem good answers to me.
Black simly waits till its clear where white wants to castle.
Also note that after b5/Na5 black can initiate his own pawnstorm if necessary.

Agreed. If Black simply develops, then White plays 7.Na4. After 6...a6 I like 7.f5 best. If Black is so unwise to castle himself, the pawn storm g2-g4-g5 (often as a sacrifice!) will follow.
  
The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

Hi. I've studied that line, and i'm sure that it's absolutely not dangerous for white.

I suggest the natural setup e4 - f4 - Nc3 - Nf3 - Bc4 - d3. Then, if black doesn't play better moves
you'll take initiative with f5 - Qe2 and 0-0-0. 

In the main line, however, black plays e5 - Bc5 - d6 - Nc6 - Nf6 - Bg4,
so you have to play 7. Na4! changing his Bishop, and after short casling you'll have a good game.

White play is simple, i think 2...Bc5 is the best could happen after your 2. f4 Smiley

King's Gambit Declined - Trouble castling!

Hey guys quick question about the King's Gambit Declined.  I know that one of the main ways to decline the gambit after 1.e4 e5 2.f4 is Bc5.  I am a King's gambit fan as white and have fallen into repetitive trouble in that I cannot castle Kingside since the Bc5 attacks the g1 square (as 2.f4 leaves the line clear).  Does anyone have any advice as to how to avoid this problem?  I have heard it said that white should castle long, but that seems like a lot of trouble especially since when white castles kingside his king rooks zooms onto the offensive f1 square.  I also know there are lines where white plays a quick c3 hoping for d4.  But doesnt that block the knight which will be sitting passivly on b1? Any thought/comments on the best way to fight this variation of the KG Declined?  Please comment, I know the Declined lines are supposed to passive for black!!!
