.....Marin's books seem like perfect, my repertoire against 1... e5 was based on a training CD by him.


As i pointed out one or two pagrs before in this thread, the first book is far from perfect. His Chessbase CD was more complete! There are big problems with major lines in Marin's repertoire.

I'm interested to know what Marin recommends against 1...Nf6 2.g3 e6 and 3...d5; since the Catalan would take too much space, I'm assuming he recommends the Double Fianchetto setup in the Reti with 3.Nf3 d5 4.b3 (4.Bg2 dc4 could be a problem) 4...Be7 5.Bb2 0-0 6.Bg2.


Did they say somewhere that after 1.c4 Nf6 Marin will use 2.g3? Because he could also use 2.Nc3 and on 2.... e5 3.g3 also transposes to his first book.

I don't like very much the lines after 1.c4 Nf6 2.g3 c6, I prefer to go straight into the Slav, but this could also be a problem for a repertoire book.

2.Nc3 allows the QGD, which is something I like to play, practically blocks the Grunfeld and Nimzo, and I like a lot to play against the KID with d3 and g3, prepare all my maneuvers without giving Black a target and only when it's safe play d4.

I'm thinking of returning to 1.c4, which took me to almost FM before I (mistakenly) returned to 1.d4 allowing those annoying Black active choices like the KID or Benko. Marin's books seem like perfect, my repertoire against 1... e5 was based on a training CD by him.

BTW, I'm new to these boards, hello all  Smiley


Hey Grijandel and welcome to the Forum! Cheesy

He could use 2.Nc3, but it was mentioned earlier in this thread that Marin will recommend 2.g3 against every first move except for 1...b6, 1...b5 and 1...d5. 

I can understand how the Anti-Slav lines with g3 could be annoying, since I haven't been able to prove any advantage for White with b3/g3 stuff, although the Gurevich system isn't bad. Perhaps Marin intends 3.Nf3 d5 4.d4, although this isn't the world's greatest Catalan for White.

As for the 'annoying lines' within 1.d4, these can be avoided with 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 (2...c5 3.d5), and you can trick KID players with 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Nbd2, when 3...Bg7 4.e4 is a solid line of the Pirc for White and 3...d5 4.e3 Bg7 5.b4 is an interesting Anti-Grunfeld that gives White some chances of an edge.

4. Bg2 dxc4 5. Qa4+ is something Marin is very familiar with, with white's hopes for an edge being tied into delaying/omitting d4. It may be possible for him to find improvements on existing theory (although the way Anand handles 5...c6 makes you wonder if there's anything for white to be had).

That's a candidate, as is the Davies approach with 5. Qc2.

The Reti double fianchetto reserved for when black doesn't play 4...dxc4, of course, since there is `some` ways white can try to find an edge to an edge without going into main line Catalans (I'm not aware of them, but I'm sure improvements are possible). 

I don't think Marin will give 4. b3, though. I'm fairly positive he goes with 4. Bg2 given his expertise there.

Sorry if this was mentioned earlier, but the GM Repertoire vol. 2 and 3 books will be printed in June/July, both in hardcover and paperback. 

I'm interested to know what Marin recommends against 1...Nf6 2.g3 e6 and 3...d5; since the Catalan would take too much space, I'm assuming he recommends the Double Fianchetto setup in the Reti with 3.Nf3 d5 4.b3 (4.Bg2 dc4 could be a problem) 4...Be7 5.Bb2 0-0 6.Bg2.

Now I can't wait for Ftacnik's Najdorf and the Caro-Kann and I'm also dreaming of a Grünfeld for Black (by Ftacnik maybe?) and a Nimzo-/Queen's Indian by someone else. Go on with this great 2600+ books!


Great news!  They say on the blog that Avrukh has taken over writing the Grunfeld book!

No, in general the white side, but also the black one in Rossolimo and Dragon. Why do you wanna know?

Spuler, you bought the book to study the black side only?

My first game with the reversed Dragon went very well for me after having studied the chapter in the book. I won with Black because my opponent didn't follow the main ideas by Marin in a smooth way.  Smiley
I like the Grandmaster Repertoire series very much! Now I can't wait for Ftacnik's Najdorf and the Caro-Kann and I'm also dreaming of a Grünfeld for Black (by Ftacnik maybe?) and a Nimzo-/Queen's Indian by someone else. Go on with this great 2600+ books!

This last bit is why I opted for the standard university press for my book.  They only took half as long, but tenure was on the line...

@SF:  I'm not complaining, I'm just remarking on my surprise that there's a demand.  Personally I've sent mine off to be hand-transcribed onto vellum by Irish monks, who will also supply elaborately painted illustrations and marginal commentaries on the lives of the players whose games are cited therein.  They tell me they should have it back in 20 years or so.

Being an economist doesn't prevent me from being surprised by some people's preferences.

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.

judging by the awe & worship inspired by The Book, there could be a market here. Hallelujahgobble!
Anyway, many English players only have one book and tend to keep it much longer than needed, so maybe there is a real demand for a hardcover (dedicated, perhaps?). santo subito!

Such sarcasm from an economist.   Tongue

If the publishers are willing to make a hardbound copy, and it sells, who's to complain?  I won't be buying it, but if the hardback opens more flatly and is easier to use, I can definitely see a market for it.
