	Quote: Doesnot really matter no one plays critical lines and/or remembers them! Do you belive this is the reason why nobody plays in the main line (4.Nc3) in the Jaenisch Gambit against Radjabov? Good point.

	Greet is pretty good. You wish ALL books were like this. Even here, two things stand out: Truly theory is underdeveloped, with many moves just ignored Doesnot really matter no one plays critical lines and/or remembers them! So study plans and work it out OTB folks!

I voted in the end for Greet's book, since it is more up to date and (above all) is extremely helpful in respect of anticipating the user's needs and queries. Very interesting. Thanks for contributing!!
