This is all rather pessimistic speculation. moahunter et al

al I know isthat Marin wrote the most copmlete repertoire book I ever saw on the open games. all his other boks are admirable and the only book so ar in the grandmaster ep series by avrukh was very thorough.

Thus there will be no Panov, no Slav, no QG, no Catalan.

Many lines will be equal then - i.e. just an advantage from being positions that white is more familiar with the plans behind - not cutting edge stuff (which I thought was the idea behind the "grandmaster repertoire"?). 

Perhaps he will write something like "Option to transpose to QGD exchange / KID / Panov here" - or, you can "try" this line I offer (which is what so many English opening books look like)? Either that, or cop out by not offering a full repertoire, like Craig Pritchett's "active opening repertoire".

@BPaulsen

Do you think Marin will recommend 1.c4 c6 2.Nf3 d5 3.e3 Nf6 4.Nc3 or 4.Qc2? I'll take a punt and say 4.Nc3, provided that Marin does indeed recommend the Gurevich Anti-Slav.


Likely 4. Nc3.

What will Marin propose for White after 1.c4 c6!!.

My prediction would be 2.e4 when we have a Caro-Kann, Panov Botvinnik attack hybrid. That alone could be worth the price of admission for a 1.e4 player.

More likely the Gurevich Anti-Slav.

Aagaard has pretty much stated that Marin will be offering independent options against  all of Black's attempts to veer the game into mainline d4 openings. Thus there will be no Panov, no Slav, no QG, no Catalan.

According to the publishers this is out of question. This will be a complete repertoire. My question is: will Marin cover the Catalan or some Reti variation? And will he cover the fianchetto line against the KID where he is a specialist or again a reti set-up? The experience we have about past books of the Quality Chess tells us that Avrukh's lines and Marin's lines will be different (about Catalan and KID), so i am curious about what we'll see there.

I am curious about the second book in September. Will it really provide an answer to all of blacks other options, or will it say something like "refer to Avrukh book" or "transposition to Queens Gambit outside scope of book" or similar?

From the Quality Chess blog, written by Aagaard:

Quote:
This book is basically written. I have been going over the manuscript and Mihail wants to add some new games to the book that he played over the last few weeks. Marin’s English is becoming very fluent and the corrections needed by the editors will be minimal. I am hoping we can prepare this book for printing in 3 weeks time already!

The book looks absolutely fantastic. Those who thing Avrukh started the series on a high level will not be disappointed.

Estimated publication date 22nd July

Volume 2 will be out in September or October.


I'll buy this book as soon as it is available in my local bookstore. I may have to wait a couple of months, but it will be worth the wait. Wink

Some more good news for English Opening exponents: The publishing date for Volume 1 of the 1.c4 Repertoire has been moved forward to June.

Thanks for reviving the thread Antillian.

Personally I am pleased with this change to publish the 'Grandmaster Repertoire' in two volumes rather than one, since it allows Marin to cover each line in much more detail and present a nearly 'complete' repertoire. In any case, the book should be a gem.

Niggeman also states that "In this book he reveals his own white repertoire with the English Opening..."

Does anyone know when 'Grandmaster Repertoire: 1.c4' by GM Mihail Marin is due to be released? A


Niggemann.com says July 15th 

Possibly delayed because Marin has been busy writing a tournament book: Reggio Emilia 2007/2008
