Against the KIA Marin gives the Botvinnik system but he advice to play also a fianchetto with d4 (but not analysed in the book).

The material on the Anti-KID and Anti-Dutch is very thin too.

Most of the book is on the Anti-Slav (>100 pages) and Anti-QGD. I wish he had done the opposite, say covering a main line kid and dutch and aggresive side-lines against 1...c6 and 1...e6.


While I wait for my copy, can you sketch the recommendation against KID? Is it just regular Botvinnik formation or is there something else also?

Btw, I find the first Marin GM Rep book to be a great opening book. Of course there are some omissions and it's very theory heavy for someone rated 2100, therefore I will stick to my pet lines vs some systems!

As was noted previously there are some glaring holes in Marin's treatment of the 'Karpov'. I was taking a look at some 5. e3 stuff.. Came across:

1 c4 e5 2 g3 Nc6 3 Nc3 Nf6 4 Bg2 Bc5 5 e3 d5!? 6 cd Nb4 7 d4 ed 8 ed Be7 9 Nge2 Bf5 10 0-0 Nc2 11 g4 Bg6 12 f4 Nxa1 13 f5 Nxg4 14 Ng3 Rogozenko - Parligras, Romania 1999. Marin evaluates this is '+/-'.

I really don't see it after say 14...Nf6 15 fg hg. Maybe there is an improvement on the 15th move I'm missing? It seems like even if we win the knight on a1 the open h file and a safer king (Black can castle 0-0-0 in some lines) Black is fine if not slightly better. Has anyone else looked at this?

I'm thinking of taking up 1.Nf3, and notice that Marin's book has a chapter dedicated to "Reti Move Order". Question for anyone who's got this book: Is it worth buying this book if you're a Reti player?

What else except Marin's recommendation are main-line KID using the English Opening? If he transposes to a main-line fianchetto, then that would be out of scope for English, as well as it is covered in Avrukh's GM2. What did he give for Grünfeld?

maybe Gm Kosten could after all write a English repertoire N°2 after his good first one in 1999 ...

Well, until then there is always DW- Flank Openings. Smiley

This thread is getting very long. Maybe we should have this one for the 1st book and start a 2nd thread for the 2nd volume?
The Moderator could split this thread or copy these later posts across?

Well the line goes: 9...Nd4 10.Qd2 Nc7 11. Bh6 e5 (Nce6 12. Bxg7 Kxg7 13.f4) 12. Bxg7 Kxg7 13.f4 f6 14.Rab1
Thanks Mr Cookie, i understand Mister Marin, he wants to be logical with his approach of the first volume but one may thinks that White has no advantage in this variation. My database says that white scores 46% after 11.Bh6 ...

Ok if White can play d4, but what about the obvious 9.Be3 Nd4 ...


White can force b4 then, beginning with 10.Rb1. That makes White's position easy to play. But he still has no advantage, of course.
