The book provides a repertoire  of very aggressive lines

1.Benko

2.Blumenfield

3.Vaganian Gambit. 

I like it.

I notice that ChessBase is highlighting a letter opining that "Attacking with the Benko Gambit" is the best ChessBase DVD to date.  This is from a fellow named Matt Renner, who says that he owns 57 of these videos.  I wonder if this is the same Matt Renner who has a USCF rating of 1543.

Presumed the letter was some kind of odd absurdist joke. But then again some fella was writing on another chess forum for ages about sandwiches. Seemingly seriously. So one can ne'er quite tell. 
There's nowt as queer as folk'.


Omitted '
oops, and no modify now. 
Alas.
Sign of impending armageddon #652.

To each their own. While I like this 1, I don't think it's in my top 10. I rate DVDs by Gustaffson, Aagard, Bologan, Kasparov, King (Najdorf) Kasimdzhanov, and Bojkov higher, for example.

But white plays 12 a4 and against .. Qa5 you play 13 Bd2 as white (and later Qc2 and not Qe2), does Ramirez deal with this somewhere else? I like his presentation a lot, but it seems a bit sloppy not to mention 12 a4 at all (Nakamura actually played it against Bologan and it being the recommendation of one of the latest 1 d4 repertoire books)...


12.h3, 12.Re1 and 12.Qe2 are covered.  12.a4 (as in Kaufmans book) is not.

Aveskulov told me at chess.com that he will issue an update on his book dealing with these two moves, which became fashionable right after his book was pressed. Actually he wasn't even aware that 12.a4 was Kaufman's suggestion in his repertoire book.

Ramirez deals with this variation in the free clip from his new ChessBase opening DVD

I have this book. I think that the chapter on 'The Vaganian Gambit"

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3. Nf3 e5 4.Nb5 d5 looks very interesting. This of course is relevant to people who play the Modern Benoni.

This book does endeavor to give a complete repertoire but of course you can pick and choose.

I discovered 12.a4 way before it became more popular due to Kaufman's book. I showed it to Brunello who had a game against Caruana with it but he only achieved a draw. Of course i don't claim to be the "creator" of the idea as  just saw it in Hiarcs Opening Book.

In general i am not scared with 12.a4, but 12.h3 is a line none should underestimate. It is about equal with best play, but objectively White can claim a "practical advantage". For example follow Alterman's analysis from his "Gambits" book.

Only a pdf excerpt, I guess, although Valeri wasn't very specific about it, nor he gave any timeline.

Is the update only going to available by buying the then coming 2nd edition, or will it be available by other means (eg a free PDF excerpt)?

Actually he does mentions these moves. On page 104 he gives both Bologans losses in Biel 2012, with brielfly suggested improvements/alternatives in both. 

But its really lovely to hear that Aveskulov is going to produce an update on the subject!  Smiley I`m looking foreward to that, so many thanks!
