That Schandorff-Kristiansen game was gangsta.

Very interesting that line in the Dutch, as well ast 4. e3/5. Ne2 Nimzo-Indian. My only experience with that line was as Black when I lost to a 2100 a few years ago Sad

You may be right but we could be forced to wait for volume 3 to cover "the rest"...

I only care about when the books will be published instead of what they recommend Smiley

I notice that Scandorffs book is named The Indian Defences". I wonder whether the Benoni, Benkö, Dutch ++ also will be covered??


Of course. Compare with the old Pedersen "Beating The Indian Defences" book.
  
Don't check me with no lightweight stuff.

Schadorff: Ambitious mainlines.
Watson: Slightly less ambitious lines. Watson was quite critical of the choices in the d4 book by Cox.


I would be curious to know where Watson expressed his criticisms.


Watson reviewed that book here for the week in chess: http://www.chess.co.uk/twic/john-watson-reviews/the-end-of-openings-part-1
