I rather have a physical book in front of me, so that I can actually feel the book and turn the pages and carry it around places to read. This book is over 400 pages long if I remember correctly, a bit a large file? At least with a book one can have both the book and enter the moves into Chessbase as well.

I would still wait for eBook as it is so easy run through on Chessbase, reather than reading a book and playing it over board/chessbase

Why not get priority shipping or Fedex?

Any idea when this book will come as eBook. From India, that is the fastest & easiest choice to get it.

Actually though, I maintain that the Triangle system is not a Semi-Slav at all, but a variation of the Queen's Gambit Declined, with c6 being played on move three.. That is how it arises in a large majority of cases.

Why indeed would you play 2...c6 if you were intending to play this?


Some would argue that the entire Slav complex is itself merely a large branch of the Queen's Gambit declined and in some books I own it is certainly handled that way. (Lars Schandorff for example!)

Either way, this new Triangle book is great ... very objective. 

I bought it for the White side and have not been disappointed.  Very dense analysis (which I enjoy).

I don't like the name Semi-Slav at all; it's not specific enough. As soon as someone uses it I wonder: which one? Though I must admit that MartinC made a good use of it at 19:59.

To avoid the Marshall Gambit with 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nc3 dxc4 and transpose after 4.Nf3 e6. There will be a problem with consistency though after 1.c4 e6 2.Nc3.
  
The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

Quite well even Smiley Think I got confused by it being covered as a fourth move deviation....

Certainly not many of them being produced.

As it happens it is basically complete - no exchange lines but going e6 before c6 or Nf6 makes those a total non issue anyhow. No 1 c4, Nf3 either but e6 followed by d5 really does considerably simplify life there too.

Not the semi slav either of course Smiley But lots of good coverage of all blacks independent ways to play.

The thing which slightly scares me is that you've got this massively erudite/thorough book and you can still look at it and think of all these places where some more obsessive authors might have analysed to death.
(Without I'd think any genuine benefit.).

Well that and how hard the Marshall gambit must be to analyse - white's compensation obviously isn't crushing but it does seem to endure all the way through to all sorts of endings.


In fact, the exchange is covered.

I was just thinking, I wonder how well such books (which dare not to provide a "complete repertoire") sell these days ...

Thank you Markovich!  Smiley
only a question: as a repertoire is it... complete? I mean I need other books on (semi)-slav, exchange lines etc  as Black?
