TN, what do you mean by Main Line Slav?

I assume 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 dxc4 derived lines. Is that correct?

Will semislav or a6 lines (chebanenko's) be treated in your Super Solid Black Repertoire?


That's correct, I am referring to the 4...dc4 variation.

Tony, I would also like a private message with this information.

It's fine for me Tony to accept your proposal of maintain some repertoires.

After 20 years of open with 1.e4 and avoid mainstream theory, I have changed to the 1.d4, c4, Nf3 complex.

As black I have been playing Sicilian Sveshnikov in correspondence chess since 1990, so I have some "unpublished ideas" in some lines out of fashion now.

And the same happens with Grunfelds, my first love when I was a young player.

In the meanwhile, I have played french, closed spanish, and Slav-SemiSlav complex, but as a second weapon, if some is broken in my pet lines. Playing that lines in an active way.

My chess-style fits with active play playing unbalanced positions as black, and clearly long-term small advantages as white.

My ending skills are good enough to be able to win microscopic advantages as white (ala Karpov) in correspondence chess. And to win in a tactical way, if my opponent miss something in his analysis.

Could you clarify by a private message time-table of the repertoires, task, and soon?

If TN and Fausto are happy to take on a repertoire each that is great. Smiley

May I suggest Kalashnikov?

Sveshnikov Sicilian vs e4 (as main weapon)
I can add a second Sicilian as second weapon

Grunfeld vs d4, c4, Nf3 (as main weapon)
Slavs vs d4, c4, Nf3 (as second weapon)

As white

I open with d4 (50%) c4 (30%) and Nf3 (20%) in order to play Main Lines and avoid some other ones.

vs Grunfeld (Russian System)
vs QG (Slavs or Semi-Slav and Bf4 vs ortodox)
vs King's Indian (Classical System)
vs Bogoindia and Queen's Indian

Others minor options to fix.

I can accept suggestions.

Thanks for the clarifications, but I'll wait for Tony to reply with the confirmed conditions. I won't start working on the repertoires until I am 100% clear on the aspects, conditions and details of the task.

Not sure, Mr. Kosten think about the Repertoires ebooks.

My idea is to maintain my own repertoire like a Pro.

And of course, I can offer it freely (or with some fees) if someone is interested in see my chess preparation "laboratory".

If there are some repertories prepared based on main-lines or side-lines I can change it for my own one.

But Mr. Kosten should decide if the idea of repertoires fit with chesspubs philosophy.

As I understand it a repertoire is not a collection of different opening systems collected by chance. There should be something (whatever it is) connecting the different choices to make it a coherent set of systems. To accomplish that I would suggest one person is “in charge” (TN) and will have the ultimate responsibility when the basic criteria for the repertoire are agreed.  That shouldn’t however prohibit suggestions from other persons and discussions during the development. I also think that the person “in charge” very well could delegate different lines to other persons but still maintain the overall responsibility to ensure consistency in the repertoire(s).
  

What kind of proof is that?

Let me clarify something.

How exactly will this 'Chesspub Repertoire' concept work? i.e. will everyone make their own contributions and the best will be turned into e-books, or is one person chosen to write the e-books and everyone else posts their own ideas to the author?

I am interested to know this because if my offer to write all the first repertoire books is accepted, I want to know whether this would make me the sole author of the repertoires, one of several co-authors, or an author of my e-books while others make e-book repertoires of their own.

I forgot to mention earlier, I currently write for a regular chess periodical and have had a contribution of mine published in the New In Chess Yearbook.  Smiley

dom, F means Fou (Bishop, I supposse)

Maybe, your repertoire for the French fits better in the French Sub-Forum

Have you think in transposition from 1.d4 e6 in the hope of 2.e4 and you are playing the French!!!

Best wishes

(cont)

This is one French Defence repertoire "for Black" (= selected moves/lines for Black against various moves for White).

Some of these lines are part of systems of famous players and others.

Subject of critics of course, because sometimes it is a matter of choice (and personal taste)   (I start reading Moskalenko book "Revolutionize your chess"  Smiley it affects greatly my posts)

I am interested by the coverage/comments of this repertoire...by J.Watson or others. The idea is to explain for Black how to play position at the end of the opening line).

Often comments have been done on positions/lines... on chesspub updates or in the forum ... but sometimes they were forgotten.

Specialists will recognize many.
