	It's cost reduction. Openings like the Najdorf or Nimzo are more expensive

	If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

	That's why they call themselves BDG-Gemeinde. I mean, has anybody heard of something called Community of Dragoneers? Nimzo-Indian World Champion? Two Knights Game-Grandmaster?

I guess that is why they are called "Everyman" and not "EveryGM" But seriously, they are a business, they print what they think people will buy. And there are plenty of amateurs looking offbeat systems. In fact, given the passion of some of the BDGers, this might well turn out to be a best seller. You can expect many of the fanatical BDGers to buy 5 and 10 copies each. Yeah, and hand them out in airports.

	Hmm, now Ponziani book, new Dragon book, new Alekhine book, new Blackmar-Diemer book. These guys are really scraping the bottom of the barrel. All right, I admit, the Dragon and Alekhine's rate a least a rung higher than those other two.
