One example that comes to mind is Efstratios Grivas's Yearbook article a few years ago, "Recent Developments in the Byrne System."
I wonder how, say, Kasparov referred to it regarding when he played it against Karpov.

Except in America, who calls it The Byrne Variation?! Googling it will give you mostly a variation in the Pirc. Chess Base also does not seem to associate it with Byrne - I checked the "Classify" option. I know that nobody calls it The Extended Fianchetto either, but at least it describes Black's set-up.

If you change the title, also please consider adding Byrne's name in place of the "Extended Fianchetto."

If I put only Samisch in the title, it would also fail to convey a good half of the book. Also, there is a Part 9 where White does not even play Nbc3 and it is an alternative repertoire. So it is not just Samisch.

I added to the Contents the Index of main branches.

I think that would work better.

Well, that is the force of the feed-back. The book is not printed yet, we might change the title.
How about The Ultimate Anti-Grünfeld. A Sämisch Repertoire?

Maybe, but the sub-title is A White repertoire with 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.f3.
By the way, KID players will be quite surprised to meet new plans in most main systems.


I think Igor has a point. I glanced at this book in the "coming Soon" section ans ignored it since I figured it was simply on the Anti-grunfled. It was only when I saw this thread, that I realized it covered the Samisch.

You are the publisher so it is your choice of course. But I aim sure you will sell a lot more books if the title communicated that it offered a repertoire against the KID Samisch.

Out of curiosity, how is Dembo's (or Adorján's) 3 .. e5 faring nowadays? I can see that nobody plays it on the top level but it always looked like a fun move to me Smiley Unrelated note: is the spelling Sämisch as Samish an accepted alternative or just a typo (sorry, I know it has almost nothing to do with the quality of the book..)?

imho the title "The Ultimate Anti-Grünfeld" is somehow a limitation, personally I am more interested in the Saemisch KID for example

On the contrary, you have both - the Samish AND the Anti-Grunfeld.


Of course, but my point is that it should be understandable from the title alone, so the... casual reader, let say, would be informed.

will Avrukh's suggestion against 3.f3 be taken in account? I don't see his Grünfeld-book mentioned in the bibliography

Obviously the author thought that his book did not deserve mentioning it. Chess Stars bibliographies in principle include only books which somehow contributed to the subject and the text contains references to them. 
But 9...f5 and then ...Rfd8 is covered quite deeply indeed, although this line is rather old-fashioned and nobody from the top plays it anymore.

Regarding ...c6 and ...a6 in the Sämisch, I would have used the name of a recently deceased American grandmaster, rather than calling it "Extended Black Fianchetto" (when in any case Black doesn't always play ...b5 and ...Bb7).
If you asked me, I would name it after Bulgarian GM Krum Georgiev who has been playing it for 40 years!
