That is right. After  (4) h5 they recommend (5) c4, as in the game Gulko x Karpov, Dos Hermanas, 1994.

I happen to have the  1994 Edition. They recommend the Scandinavian  (2 Nf6) for black against  '1.e4"; for withe they analyze the Alapin (Sicilian c3) against the Sicilian and the Byrne  (4 Bg5)when facing the Pirc/Modern.



Thank you for this information. I think they also gave h4 variation in closed system in caro-kann. How did they proceeed after h5? With the quick c2-c4 as in some Tal's games?

As I recall they advocated the Exchange Variation against the Alekhine. FWIW they also recommended the Chigorin Defense vs. 1 d4.

Thank you Mike!
I guess their reccomendation against Alekhine is 4p attack? This is probably the most agressive line against this defence.

The original ORAP was the backbone of my repertoire for a key period of my teen years. Had a lot of fun with the max lunge. It's this book's fault the Pirc has stayed with me to this day, although not their lines as most are very out of date.

Never got the new edition. I would guess their theory again to be pretty stale now.


I like Max Lange too, but it's hard to get it nowadays.

c3 sicilian and scotch 4 knights are not attacking at all. 

I know that they had few editions of this book, so is any of these editions with different opertoire repertoire?

Those who want to go by my perverse footsteps play such pawn structure with fuzzy atypical still strategic orientations

IIRC they advocated the Scotch Four Knights game against 1....e5, and the Alapin vs. the Sicilian.


Both of which are not considered attacking systems at all 18 years on. Though both can offer good attacking chances for White if Black isn't well-prepared.
  

All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them.

The thing I most readily recall about the later one is that it advocated the Portuguese Center Counter (2...Nf6 3. d4 Bg4).



Thank you. Maybe you remember what they gave against 1..e5 and sicilian? 

I quite like their book form 1980's. Repertoire was entertaining. I wonder if is so with 1994 edition.

Hi guys!
I'm interested in 1994 this book written by Levy and Keene. Since I have already version from 1980's i wonder if they recommanded lines changed. If someone can give me quick summary of 1994 version repertoire I would be glad.
Thank you in advance.
