And I look forward to seeing the anti-Rossolimo stuff too. And the c3.
This will be a big selling point for Tony's book of course. And 3.Nc3 coverage too.
Both the author and the editors at Everyman should be capable of better English and organization than CE (understatement of the year)!
Well, I do not actually mind slightly wobbly English. Askew Chess Stars language never bothers me, not a jot.
As an applied linguist I am happy working within the English as an International Language (EIL) / English as Lingua Franca (ELF) paradigm.
Because they are spot on with their pedagogy (the Quick Repertoire works a treat), with their organisation of the material, and the level of research.
What bothers me:
1) Awful 'look at me' style (e.g. Taylor, Lakdawala). Cringe, look away. Partly their own hapless solipsism. Partly lack of effective editorial oversight.
2) Ridiculous organisation (degainez kalash).
3) Half-arsed stuff (usual suspects are obvious, dont need to bash e.g. Lilov any more)
Back to the ranch:
Yeah, the 3 Nc3, 4 Nf3 stuff will be a definite boon too. Look forward to it. Get thee to the finish line TonyRo!
