I pre-ordered the book, but De Beste Zet has it listed as 29 June 2012:

http://www.debestezet.nl/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2129

so perhaps UK will have the book early July, Netherlands late June?

I start loving them again after the abuse of computer-generated "and White has a slight advantage" in pgn broadcasts. On the other hand, the ubiquitous "with chances to fight for an advantage" or "with a tough struggle ahead" almost seem computer-generated as well.

Which Informant style symbols are used in the excerpt? I am not too familiar with them but if it helps the print better then better Smiley


Just the standard +-, +/-, +=, =, =+, -/+, -+. John's always used these in his PTF books. Everyone knows what they mean, don't they?

Surprising to see an Everyman book with Informator symbols! They generally make it a point to not use them.

would no more be considered equivalent acceptable spellings than Smith/Smyth (or Tait/Tate), say.


Yes, people spelling my name "Tate" always irritates me. Angry

A page number like "192" is meaningless, by the way. Publishers always hope for page numbers divisible by 16, since 16 pages = 1 sheet in DIN A0 format. So that's what they put into their book contracts, but authors are no robots. When you see a number not divisible by 16, then it could be the real number of pages.

I know you still do not want others to discuss your own topics of a book even though the title of the thread simply states the title of the book and you seem to criticise only me and not the others (Why criticse me and not dom (moderator) in the other thread who started the topic?) who start other extremely similar topics as mine and to which I reply to, but your insults will not command others from discussing or asking someone who worked on the book about variations covered and allowing them an opportunity to reply. Not sure why my post is criticised by you for text issues but others who have longer posts are not, unless of course, quite obviously, you simply try to discourage only my posting viable topics, but not other posters. It was a nice try, but if the thread is about the book, then about the book the posts shall be.

Except that would make no sense if the topic pertains to the title of the thread, which is the title of the book, as well as allow others to learn more about the book, and allow those who worked on the book to reply and join discussion as well. Maybe those who want to discuss only what they think they should discuss about a thread that implies a broad topic with the thread title of "(Book title)" should go and create their own thread titled "(Book title): (Whatever we/I think should be discussed about (Book title) where no one can discuss what we/I think they should not discuss about (Book title)", if they sense a need to specify their own topics; in that case they would have to provide their list of topics about which they want to prohibit people from discussing.


Perhaps better to insert spaces in the text. Tough to read like that.
Might make posts marginally more readable. 
May not allow forumites to make much more sense out of such postings, but, as they say,
'you can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter'.


Respectfully disagree with TJ (great KG book by the way!), agree with Stefan Buecker. If his name is Mc-, then that matters. Respect to Herr Buecker for being spot on here.

Now about my postman...

My "McCutcheon" remark was not off-topic, it was merely mean and inflammatory. 

I considered to put it in "Nomenclature of Openings: Indian Jungle". But it makes sense to collect criticism on a book in one thread. John Watson may be more interested in analyses than in history, but in a few years he will write a fifth edition of his work. And then a single thread is more useful. 

A moderator can shorten or cut. Not all replies were necessary. An apology from John Watson would have sufficed.    Cool

Well, spelling MacCutcheon/McCutcheon correctly or as it's pronounced hardly matters much for practical purposes since the guy is long dead and there only is one variation with that name. - Especially when considering that we're on a forum where several people apparently see no difference between Carlsson, Carlson or Carlsen...

A section devoted to "Salivating and Speculating" is indeed a good idea, to save time for the moderators some users could be limited to that section until they get tired of it.

Postage in general no. Delivery of the book in the title of the thread yes. http://www.ukgamesshop.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=chsoo... is where I pre-ordered this book; "Expected Release July 2012".

432 pages!! Whoaaa  Cheesy
Will it be published on the slick pages as Sherbakovs book? 
I like that paper a lot. It not only feels nice, but it takes up a lot of less space in my overly crowded bookcase.


So I am not the only one who asks about the paper in books. And it seems as if previous recently published Everyman books have been using this new paper, so I suppose it might have the same paper. I quite like the new paper as well due to the compact size of the book.

I see. I wonder if 
3. Nd2  Nf6 4. e5   Nfd7 5. c3   c5 6. Bd3 Nc6 7.Ne2 cxd4 8. cxd4 f6 9. Nf4  Nxd4
10. Qh5+ Ke7 11. exf6+ Nxf6 12. Ng6+ hxg6 13.Qxh8 Kf7 14. Qh4 e5 15. Nf3 Bb4+  is looked at...


Nor am I the only one who asks about variations. I personally play 3...c5 4. exd5 exd5 against the Tarrasch but I will study those chapters on 3...Nf6 anyway. Also wondering about what is recommended in 6...Qa5 Winawer: 7. Bd2 Qa4 8. c4 and 8. Qg4.

Again, Gilchrist was right to admonish me about keeping this thread on topic.

I won't be able to edit the thread until ~June 7th at the earliest. Please, 


STAY ON TOPIC!
