The only lines I know more is that Gus choice against the Scotch is 4...Nf6 and against the King´s Gambit he accepts the pawn.

So far, I only saw 8 chapters of 19 and I must say Gus DVD is very good on presentation and analysis and he joins my top 3 (from the ones I have) with Kazim on the KID and Ziegler on the French.
Here are the variations of the first 8 chapters:

- 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.d3 b5 7.Bb3 d6
- 5.d3 b5 6.Bb3 Bc5
- 5.Qe2 b5 6.Bb3 Be7 7.c3 d5 like Marshall
- 5.0-0 Be7 6.Qe2 b5 7.Bb3 0-0 8.c3 d5
- 0-0 Be7 6.Bxc6 dxc6 7.d3
- 4.Bxc6 dxc6 5.0-0 Qf6 A matter of taste. He mentions 5...f6 and 5...Bg4 too.
- 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 Nf6 5.d3 a66.Bb3 d6 7.0-0 Ba7 8.Be3 0-0 9.Nbd2 h6 10.h3 Re8 A position wich is more about plans than knowing variations because someone goes nuts by trying to know all that stuff.
- 4.b4 Evans Bxb4 5.c3 Be7
- 4.c3 Nf6 5.d4 

Tomorrow I will put here the rest. There are several sidelines inside these variations on the DVD. 
ghenghisclown, in the Italian after 4.0-0 Gus gives d6! (because after 4...Nf6 5.d4!?)    
 



THANKS DUDE!


...just ordered my copy...

Ok, thank you.  I've heard enough to buy it.  Several of those lines aren't relevant to me as I don't play the Marshall, but I think there'll still be enough useful material.

I only received the Gus DVD this morning due to bad weather! I was hoping for the DVD before Christmas! I will watch it in the next hours and days and then give my view here. I finish seeing the intro only and it seems very good. Gus says in the introduction: "First, I introduce myself in case you commited a crime of not buying my first DVD!"  Smiley


Yeah, funny. He's sort of into comedy. I was surprised that on his website he posted tribute videos of recently deceased American Stand-up Comedian Greg Giraldo.

I'm considering purchasing Jan Gustafsson's DVD 'Black Repertoire against 1.e4 Vol. 2: Open Games'.  Does anybody have it, and if so, what do you think of it, and could you give me an idea of what sorts of lines he recommends?

Will
