When is the book due to be released? I'm not sure how much longer I can wait  Wink

Off-topic: I really hope Quality Chess publish a GM Repertoire book on 1.e4 e5.


If I understand correctly, 9th December is when the book is published, and then 12th December (Monday) is when the websales from the Quality Chess website are posted.

I thought Quality Chess published the Beating the Open Games and A Spanish Repertoire for Black as a repertoire on 1. e4 e5?


Yes, they have published those books and they are very good, but they don't have 'GM Repertoire' on the cover.  Grin

I am quite sure that I will buy this book.  Smiley

I pre-ordered the hardcover version of GM10. I anticipate reading it in a couple of weeks.

I had the chance today to see the two CBM articles (issues 144 and 145) on the Tarrasch. Once again i see a wrong picture on what is happening in the opening! Yes, these articles are not bad, on the contrary, they are very usefull but i think that in some very critical lines the author fails to help Black's side by giveng the best recommendations. Especially the first article miises completely the strong move suggested in this foroum by FM Bucker that kiiles effectively the line!

Anyway, the 9nth of December is very close and i'd be very interested to hear from you your opinion about our book. Glory days for Tarrasch are coming!  Grin

I just realised that my question had already been answered - December 9 according to Quality Chess.

I think the first week of December was the most recent promise on their blog.

Thanks for that. Even thought i am in my Army Service now and Jacob is finishing the book we keep updating our work and adding sources till the last moment. The more recent example is Bologan's DVD where he didn't challenge us at all.

After a quick look at the chesscafe article i can say that i don't have to update anything really in my file that Jacob works on it. But i may add a few neat points referring to Lane in the text. It will be Jacob's decision at the end.

The line 1 d4 d5 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 c5 4 cxd5 exd5 5 Nf3 Nc6 6 dxc5 that has been discussed here is the main topic of Gary Lane's latest article at the Chess Cafe website.

Great news! I will for sure buy the book, even though it is delayed (what books have not been delayed...)!


imho a delay of 1-2 weeks isn't so important even for openings stuff
for example it is a pity that Kotronias' book wasn't delayed just a bit - the layout is really poor  Sad (a simple ctrl-v into Indesign/Xpress)

The real irony is that Tarrasch himself deemed 3.Nd2 vs. the French as inferior because of the possibility to reach an IQP with 3... c5.


Sure ironic enough Smiley

That´s probably indeed what he means since 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 c5 4.exd5 exd5 leads to IQP-Positions as well. Also that would enable Black to play 1... e6 vs. every White first move.


Sorry, irony didn't really shine through in my post I guess.

I found it slightly amusing to suggest playing against the Tarrasch after 1.e4 as a complement to playing with the Tarrasch after 1.d4
