Well, then it probably is two different lines against the two Stonewalls: e3+Bd3 against the Slav version and a delayed development of Ng1 (hoping for a nice Nh3 line) against the Modern Dutch version. Not exactly labour saving but possibly a good attempt to extract maximum advantage.


Avrukh's stuck with 4Nf3 and e3 in the Slav case, of course, which would rule out a standard fianchetto setup. In any case, if you believe his Slav Stonewall section, White's play is simple and doesn't seem to require much study beforehand.

However, NovoSibirsk is pretty spot on.

It doesn't seem so clear at all to me as he recommends a non-fianchetto system against the Slav Stonewall (which can also arise from a Dutch move-order).

Well that will be very interesting to see what he goes for against the Grunfeld. If he is consistent with the fianchetto setup or if he recommends the exchange variation . A variation he knows very well.



He need to give fianchetto against Gruenfeld because of possible move-order tricks.


So then we get the following :

Against the KID : Fianchetto variation.
                         Grunfeld: Fianchettovariation.
                         Benoni: The Fianchettovariation.
                         Benko: Fianchetto setup (probably Jon Coxs recommendation from Starting out 1.d4).
Against the Nimzo set up white plays 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 g3 back to the Catalan.

So the question is what will he chose against the dutch ? Surely he will chose a fianchetto setup in some form,which is considered best against the dutch in general.

Avruhks repertoire Vol II. I guess  the repertoire against the Grunfeld will be the exchange variation with Rb1 setup because Avrukh is a specialist in that line. 

Against the Benoni he will probably chose the fianchettovariation. 

And probably a fianchetto setup against the Benko also. 
But what against the KID ? Will he stick to a fianchetto set up ?Anyone who knows ? 

And what against the dutch three muscuters ? (stonewall,classical,and the Leningrad? ) Anyone who knows or dare to guess ?

It would be nice to know as one can start to look at this variations in advance.

It is obvious that we cannot cover everything in 456 pages. The 4...a6 move could have been included, and probably should. With the material Boris looked at, he chose not to. There will always be choices.

To be honest, we did not use Broznik's book, only Morozeviches.

I appreciate the Khalifman series as well, but it seems to me that they have a heavy amount of analysis on bad moves and not really more no the good moves than Boris. This was one of the considerations when we designed the series. But basically I don't think there is one "right" way to do books, only several different ones, all of value (even if not always equal so).

The book for its size is a great tool. Personally i like the Khalifmans approach on size. It is far more thorough but i guess much more difficult to maintain.

I have looked at a few chapters of the book now. I found the analysis against the Chigorin very interesting. I compared it to the analysis in Broznik's book (in German), and GM Avrukh proposes improvements/looks more deeply in all the key lines. To be fair to Broznik, he does cover the same variation in a bit over a page and spent much more time and space on the more popular alternatives. In comparison it's the main recommendation by Avrukh who spends 14 pages on it.

However I noted one strange omission very early on in Avrukh's treatment (that otherwise seems very complete): After 1.d4 d5 2.c4 Nc6 3.Nc3 dxc4 4.Nf3 the books says that "other [than 4.Nf6] options are clearly worse: 4...Bg4 [...] 4...e5?! [...] The only playable alternative might be 4...e6 [...]." But what about 4...a6? Was that also too much of a correspondence chess move (I think it was mostly explored and developed by corr players)? Looking at Broznik, he certainly rates it as a viable alternative to 4.Nf3 (in fact 4...e5 and 4...e6 are not even mentioned).

Because it is my greatest wish to get 10/10 for 1.e4 I am waiting to announce it until it is written. I think we are talking 12 months. 

However, 1.c4 will be out in March/April.

I wonder what it will take to get 10/10, because to me this is the best opening book there is  Wink

What take you so long that you can not announce GM 1e4 repertoire, and then make it sure that for that one you get 10  Cool

Just to clarify my assessment why I gave 8.5/10: The reason is because some of the analysis mentioned in the book does not point the original source or author when such exists. Now I am working on the Tarrasch Defence. Hope that there will be less ommissions Wink.
Speaking about the best opening book on the market, indeed this book is the best. It is even better than Berlin Wall  Roll Eyes.
