	Aagaard, you still didn't answer my question on what you think about my suggestion about how to do updates to your opening books.

	Probably time to move this thread to the General Chess section

	Another question for Jacob, when is Attacking manual 2 coming? I did like part 1 very much, the only critical thing I have is what already is mentioned here before, that "spine of the book" thing.

	Aagaard, Bless you for getting Marin to write a book on 1.c4; that is fantastic news. He is a world-class writer and I cannot wait to read what he has to say about the English. Brilliant! Oh, by the way, whatever happened to that book on combinations? I'm still hoping to see my "wonderful gem" published... Anyway... best of luck, Nietzsche

	I will write it in the autumn and winter. It will take a lot of time and I want to select the critical lines everywhere. At this moment there is not more to say .

	Jacob Aagaard wrote on 08/18/08 at 12:08:20: Maybe I should elaborate? 1.d4 will be in two volumes. I cannot recall who it was who said that it will be impossible to do it all in one volume. Anyway, he was right. The first volume will be out in November, I hope, and the second probably in January. Yeah, it was me who was skeptical about the one volume. Two volumes sound more plausible. But we all know the Chess Stars series ballooned into far more books than originally intended.

In the spirit of constructive criticism I would offer this to you for consideration in future editions/publications. This is correct. It is all my fault. I made a mistake and made it worse because I was late. I found it very amusing that someone wrote a review of Amazon saying that I need to find a better publisher! Mr. A had some valid points and I hope he will keep them up in the future. On the other side I hope that he will stop misquoting Tony and learn to agree to disagree. I don't know when I misquoted Tony. Can you tell me when I did this? The only thing I can think of that you are referring to is when I said that Tony belives that 8 Nd2 in the Ponziani is the refutation of the line Marin recommends. I think Tony does believe this. Recently he said that he doesn't think that the line Marin recommends is Blacks best line by any means. Does it really matter? I can recommend a good therapist if you think it does. Unneccessary ad hominem. He was simply asking for clarification of a point already made by Aagaard. If it didn't matter, Aagaard wouldn't have brought it up in the first place, right?

Though of course Davies does get more pages to focus on the Catalan exclusively.

	I don't want to have a solid system of updates. A few authors like to do them, most do not. I don't want to make it a part of the contract. We will not necessarily limit ourselves to one repertoire against e4 or d4 with the GM repertoires.

	ANONYMOUS3000 wrote on 08/17/08 at 04:29:11: What openings do you think Quality Chess will cover in their Black repertoire editions of the "Grandmaster Repertoire" series? My guess is the Najdorf vs. 1.e4 and the Slav against 1.d4. Also, with regards to Avrukh's Grandmaster Repertoire: 1.d4 book, it looks like he will have some competition in Nigel Davies's "Play the Catalan": http://www.everymanchess.com/display.php?id=489 Yes, I am also interested in hearing what books Qualitychess is planning for Black in their Grandmaster Repertoire series.
