I'm afraid I disagree. I think the lines are just about the perfect level with regards to theory.

Yes, he does recommend the Taimanov against the Benoni. But after: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 4.d5 exd5 5.cxd5 d6 6.e4 g6 7.f4 Bg7 8.Bb5+ Nfd7 he offers 9.Nf3!? instead of the much more common 9.a4. This sidesteps a huge amount of theory.

Similarly, with the Nimzo-Indian Rubinstein, he opts of the Ne2 systems on the whole, sidestepping absolute mainlines.

I think Kornev's repertoire involves more theory than Watson's, but less than Schandorff's and Cox's. That strikes quite a nice balance, imo.

We shouldn't pay  too much attention to the title of these books written by Kornev. (Even though I am doing it right now.) 

Let's make it clear right away that these books are NOT especially practical. For example Kornev choice vs the Modern Benoni. He suggests entering the flick-knife attack (Taimanov system) which makes the title of the books just ridiculous.

His choice vs the  slav can't be labeled practical either. Also not the Auerbakh system vs the KID. 
Also his choice vs the Nimzo could  be questioned. The Nimzo Rubinstein complex can be a jungle if you look att all the choices  black has. 

Kornevs repertoire books are great but to label them practical is a "crime"  Smiley. 

If you want a practical 1.d4 repertoire you should play the move order : 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3  or  2.Bf4 / 1.d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 move order. Taking out the Budapest and Albin counter gambit right away.

That is really not so strange. After 1.e4 d6 2.d4 it is not really common to play 2..e5, even if it is probably playable. White can play 3.Nf3 and transpose to a Philidor. If black then plays 3..Nf6 Kornev does recommend 4.dxe5 on page 243 of volume 2.

Still, in a practical game this position appeas to me quite unpleasant, so kudos to Kornev about this proposal. Also, there are a couple of forced draws after 13...g6 that makes me like 13...Be7 more which Kornev doesn't treat as satisfactory as 13...g6. At least this is my opinion.

I understand not wanting to give away any analysis, but can you possibly name one of the correspondence games so that I can look up the line?  What are you guys calling "the main line," anyway--the Reynolds? 8...a6 9.e4 c5 10.e5?  Does he give 8...Bb7 9.e4 or 9.0-0?  I can't figure it out from the extract or any of the short reviews I've seen.

I agree with Vass. I played one of his Meran recommendations in an ICCF game. Since we only are one move ahead of Kornev's suggestion in the game I cannot give any variation. But currently I will be glad if I even have an = position. But still a very playable position though.  Smiley

Would recommend caution in the Meran if you will use the book as a reference. Huh 
 
Otherwise I am very satisfied with part I of the series. Part II does not really fit with my repertoiores and I have not yet looked  into the book very much.
  
What kind of proof is that?

Can anyone comment on Kornev's Meran coverage?  We haven't discussed this book much here, and I'd get it if the Meran coverage was good. 

He tried to find a tiny advantage in the very main line for white, having followed a correspondence chess game. He claims he has found an edge, admitting that it was very hard. But.., it seems his correspondence chess games database was not the best one can get. Several games played in the meantime prove that white has nothing even in this line.  Wink

Could we split this in two threads? I can vouch for the Anzugvorteil book. Some of the choices are kind of strange but they are mostly quite ambitious, "forcing" sidelines. And the explanations are clear and often familiar but not to the point of Lakdawala. I particularly liked to see openings like 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 b6 ?/?! treated, openings that I must face all the time but IM/GM's perhaps never even heard of. Also an interesting feature is comparing stats at GM level and at sub-2100 level (I think).

I wanted to remind everyone that there is also derdudea's excellent book which was mentioned here on the forum http://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1343020296/20#20 .  I purchased it from here http://www.euroschach.de/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Anzugsvorteil+II&x=... because the shipping cost was much cheaper to send to the US than the Niggemann site.



Interesting - what kind of repertoire is this?? I mean, I realize it's d4, but QG Exchange, what about the KID or Nimzo?
