Amazon has this bit:  "Lakdawala recommends lines with f2-f3 against the Nimzo-Indian, the Petrosian System against the King's Indian and the Flick Knife (f4 with Bb5+) against the Benoni."

A surprising combination, isn't it? When I think of a typical Petrosian KID player, I picture someone like ... Petrosian, or Cummings, whose English repertoire book is quite varied but probably on the positional side on average. While those other two lines are something for swashbuckling attackers ready for sharp and non-standard positions.

Maybe I'm overgeneralizing. We'll have to wait and see how he pulls it off.



Not quite. If he follows e.g. Kramnik-Nakamura, 2014, the plan with Be3 and long castling leads to sharp positions quickly.

Offering interesting options against the big systems Nimzo, KID, Grünfeld etc. is one thing, the other is putting all this together to a coherent repertoire with all those problems of transpositions! Especially if you don’t have the semi-waiting move 2Nf3

I took a look again at Kornev‘s „Practical White Repertoire with 1.d4 and 2.c4“ (3 volumes, ~1000pages, ChessStars 2013/14) and splitted the coverage into
~55% the big d4 systems (QGA, QGD, Slav, Semislav, Nimzo, Grünfeld, KID, ModernBenoni, Dutch with 1...f5 2.Nc3)
~33% other/minor d4 lines (Albin, Chigorin, Tarrasch, Wolga & various Benonis, Old Indian, Tango, Budapest, Various after 1.d4 e6 2.c4)
~12% things could happen after 1.e4 (mainly Pirc and Modern)
Counting slightly differently Kornev could have shortened his coverage ~25% if he had restricted his coverage to 1...d5/Nf6/f5/c5/e5 and had recommended 2.e4! „whenever possible“! (And please no BDG, Staunton or Gibbins-Weidenhagen!))

1.d4 e6 2.c4 (not ...d5/Nf6) is a big subject and 1.d4 d6 2.c4 e5 is certainly something many white players would like to avoid!?
So I’m curious what Moskalenko, Lakdawala and Sielecki have in mind against that ...

Yes, I read in Petrosian's Legacy. Great article on the development of the Petrosian Variation (h4! and closing the kingside... ). And Shereshevsky gives some of these lines in The Soviet Chess Conveyor. But I had already  put them together myself by the time I saw those.

I'm sure Moskalenko will be advocating 4. f3 against the Nimzo as well. He's played it a lot, and I seem to recall he's written about it before (maybe in Revolutionise Your Chess?).

I used play the Petrosian as part of just such a varied-but-more-positional repertoire. I used to combine the Petrosian KID with the Leningrad Nimzo, the Bg5 (Lasker) Gruenfeld, the Bg5/Ne2 Exchange QGD, and the Bg5/e3 Benoni. Really, I could have designed a pinning 1.d4 2.c4 repertoire book ("Bg5: Pin Intended!").

You had previously read 'Petrosian's Legacy', hadn't you? Because that's what I did and played for a while! Not sure why I move away from this to frank.

It is strange...It would look like he's trying to give the solid players sharp lines and the sharp players solid lines. Except for that bit about the Benoni... Shocked

Christof Sielecki also has such a product in the works.
