Do you belive this is the reason why nobody plays in the main line (4.Nc3) in the Jaenisch Gambit against Radjabov? Grin 

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!

Tiviakov's comments? You're not thinking about his comment's on Dearing's mainline Dragon book?


Well, color me embarrassed. I stand corrected.

IMHO all of these books are well above average in quality. "Ax Dragon" players have been well served for many years!

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!!

Wondering what everybody thinks is the best book on this opening. Since there was some controversy (Tiviakov's comments), the topic interests me.
