@Alias:  No, it's not hard to understand.  Come to think of it, maybe they should publish a edition bound in embossed leather and printed on glossy, gold-edged paper, with a velvet ribbon to mark your place.

I would more likely pay for hardcover for a games collection or reference endgame book. But if some persons want hard cover opening books, well to each his own. There is a demand and there is a supply...it is the free market at work.

It makes sense to pay extra for hardcover copies of books of lasting value. San Luis 2005 or Reggio Emilia 2007/2008 may well become classics that you want to give your chess playing grandson some day. 

Opening books are very different. While their shelf life may vary depending on subject and quality of analysis they tend to be outdated 10 years after their publishing date.

vol. 2 and 3 will be available in hardcover.

I saw on Quality's site that there was some demand for these big repertoire works in hardcover, and I had trouble believing it.  Even something as weighty as Marin or Avrukh perishes pretty quickly these days, so why spend the money for hard cover?

Planning to give these to your grandchildren?  See what chess theory was like way back in 2010, Sweet Pea?


Some people prefer hardbacks and are willing to pay the extra for it. Is that so hard to understand? 

PS. I've never seen a book perish.
  
Don't check me with no lightweight stuff.

I wonder if Marin would be interested in doing a one off Flank Openings update for the site, just covering lines in his book? It would give Quality Chess some free publicity, Jacob? Wink

I like volume 1 very much. And I would also like 4 or even 12 volumes if they were from the same quality!
The finish of the game Marin-Boudre, Cannes 2002, on page 18-20 made me search for this game in my database and caused me a shock, because I'm missing this game. No idea, how this could happen, but where can I get it? (I know one can rebuild it with the help of page 38, but is this the correct played move order?) Thanks for help.


It's common for games of players, even Grandmasters, to not appear in databases if they played in an Open tournament that didn't collect or input the games on the Internet. Also, in weekenders and rapid tournaments, it's rare for any of the games to be available after the tournament. 

To find the game, try searching in Google, and if the game isn't on the Internet, you can try asking Marin nicely in an email: there is always the possibility that he will give you the moves of the rest of the game. 

Which reminds me: I should be receiving GM Repertoire Volume 1 today. Smiley

Rumor has it that it's been bumped to 4 volumes.


Interestedly, Watson's legendary series on the English was four volumes. I don't own the books, but everyone seems to rave how good they were. And of course these were comprehensive works, not repertoire books.

It serves them right, those theory avoiders Grin

Seriously though it is sortof a pity that two recent excellent series cover such similar ground (Avruk and Marin). It would have been interesting to see such an approach on 1.e4, in particular because I sense a return to it at the top level.


There will be a series on 1.e4. By Aaagaard. Three volumes. All released together.



(In voce Marvin the Martian) That makes me sooooo angry.

What on earth is Aaaagaaard doing over there?  At this rate, he won't give us anything to complain about?
