This means the so-called "Fischer" system with e6/Nge7 is perfectly in shape for black and -even better- easy to play for black?

Is this system and the improvement over Marin covered in the chesspub ebook?

The Fischer System. I'll try to find the thread and see if we came to the same conclusions!

Agreed - and if I recall correctly, it wasn't particularly hard to find improvements over Marin's analysis (Black improves, to be clear) either.


Are you talking about the d6/Nh6 system, or the Fischer system? We had a short discussion about the Fischer system here, but I haven't seen anything on the other one.

I have used both d6/Nh6 and e6/Nge7 systems against English 1.c4 & 2.g3... in my correspondence chess tries. What is more, I have played against these two as a first player, also.
And I would say that playing the so-called "Fischer" system with e6/Nge7 is far more easier for black.  Wink

If the world's highest ranked player plays an opening, I guess it can't be bad. But Carlsen is rarely considered a great theoretician, right? I haven't followed the theory, just remember that Luke McShane as White beat Carlsen following Marin's recommendation. Is there an improvement for Black?

Symmetrical variation with 5. ...d6 and 6. ... Nh6

I am building up a repertoire against the English Opening. Since I play Benko vs. 1.d4 and Sicilian vs. 1.e4 I will probably replay with 1. … c5 against both first moves of white which may lead to English, thus 1.c4 and 1.Nf3.
If White has a move order without a quick g3 (2.Nc3,3.g3, 4.Bg2, or similar) I am going to deploy the system with 2. … b6, Bb7 and double fianchetto as proposed by Alejandro Ramirez in “Attacking with the Benko Vol.2”.

However, there is one issue. If White starts with 1.c4, 2.g2 I need to find something else.
Thus I consider the closed symmetrical variation with 5. … d6 and 6. … Nh6:
1.c4 c5 2.g3 Nc6 3.Bg2 g6 4.Nc3 Bg7 5.Nf3 d6 6.0-0 Nh6
but I am struggling with the following:
Marin stated in his GMR English Part 3 that this variation is not good for black since opening the position due to a quick d4 and exchanging the Nh6 will lead to good positions for White – however, Carlsen is still playing this line. Thus I wonder how bad can this variation be if Carlsen is deploying it?!

I am playing vs. opponents in an ELO range between 1800-2200.
