How about a London System book by Prie?

What about his London playable eBook, last updated May 2011? Smiley

How about a London System book by Prie? I know all London System players would love that. Maybe it could be called something like "The Ultimate London System" (since the analysis would be a higher (sometimes a lot higher) than other London System books).

Eric,
Why don't you write a book on d-pawn special? May be Tromp or Colle or London or others.


Firstly one has to acknowledge that the openings you propose are second or third best options for White.

Secondly, it much beneficial if you start to study main lines in QGD & family.

PS saubhik, where is my KID?  Cool


"Rossia"
My friend.....thanks for your advice to play QGD lines. I did that for years and actually have a few wins against 2200+ players. But when you spend the entire month in your office work and decide to play the game in 60 on Saturday, you may not have time, energy & memory to study & remember what's going on in Semi-Slav off late. The only choice I see (except quitting chess or losing to the meorimized play of an otherwise weaker opponent) is to go for unusual lines. Hope I could explain the situation of people like us.

In the 90's it was clear that most monographs were outdated by 5 years or so vs tournament play, hence the appeal for "current theory" efforts such as YB or chesspublishing. In this respect, Eric's efforts in chesspub should be more valuable than any book! But now since everybody & their dog have Rybka, it seems that serious "winning with..." authors are compelled to produce novelties or at least up-to-date analysis, hence raising the level & interest in their publication. Two cases in point : Safest Sicilian, Avrukh's 1.d4. Do you feel the same ?

Better let the dog eat the little fish and think for yourself. The comp-based novelties are often contrary to human chess understanding - if its not a dramatic invention (completely changing the evaluation of a line, e.g. from = to +-) then you will be usually not able to exploit it over the board - or even worse end up in a position which Rybka understands but you dont  Shocked

Why would a book be any better than the material available here?

It is a strange project, Eric's deep investigation of these theoretical backwaters.  But it's interesting to behold.

Actually, there are two articles by Eric in New In Chess Yearbook on a d-pawn attack.

This is a request for Eric Prie, my favorite author in chesspublishing. I initiated this blog to create a demand for Eric writing a book on d-pawn special. PLEASE SUPPORT IT to make a strong case so that Eric & publishers start the project.

Eric,
Why don't you write a book on d-pawn special? May be Tromp or Colle or London or others. This will give you much more space to share your thoughts. Then you can continue to refine that in subsequent months in chesspublishing with newer updates. I bet this will be a succes. Let me know what do you think.
