Not strange at all - many players aim to maximize their chances with white while neutralizing them as black. It's a practical decision, quite common.

	If I had to take complete guesses for Schandorff, maybe: Nimzo-Indian: 4. f3 Sämisch King's Indian: Four Pawns Grünfeld: Russian Variation Modern Benoni: Taimanov Variation Dutch: Fianchetto with c4 Queen's Indian: Fianchetto Benkö Gambit: 5. f3 Guesses for Watson book: Nimzo-Indian: 4. Qc2 King's Indian: Mar Del Plata Grünfeld: 7. Bc4 Modern Benoni: Fianchetto: Dutch: Fianchetto with c4 Queen's Indian: Fianchetto Benkö Gambit: 5. b6 I find it a bit strange, though, that Schandorff prefers the aggressive approach to 1. d4, but wrote the Grandmaster Repertoire book on the Caro-Kann, which is not exactly too aggressive.

	Both Schandorff and Watson have 1 d4, 2 c4 books coming out soon. Schandorff talks about " Take as much space as possible – no compromises.", Watson is "methodical play in the center". So what do you think the recommendations will be? Four pawns for space? What line for play in the center? http://www.gambitbooks.com/books/strategic.html http://www.qualitychess.co.uk/products/1/41/playing_the_queen/ The Schandorff link is to Volume 1; Volume 2 will cover Indian defenses. Thanks
