Two of the three 'missing' lines aren't completely missing.

3.g3 in the Vienna is given a brief line in a note to game 18.3, and there is a full game (20.4) with the more or less equivalent Glek Four Knights.

The Giuoco Pianissimo is very briefly referenced at the start of the Italian chapter - "4. Nc3 Nf6 5. d3 h6 is a safe line for Black" - and I dare say most of us could just get on with it from this position without going horribly wrong in the next few moves. 

I agree there's nothing on the symmetrical English without Nf3, which is an unfortunate omission as these lines are quite important.

What I don't understand: The lines missing from the first edition are still missing and this is not only minor stuff:

1. For Black: The Vienna Game with 3.g3
2. For Black: The pure symmetrical english wo Nf3 (1.c4 g6 2.Nc3 c5 3.g3 Bg7 4.Bg2 Nc6 and white plays e3/e4 ...)
3. For Black: The Italian Game with Nc3 (pianissimo)

By changing to 1.e4 at least the omissions on the d4 side of the repertoire have been fixed.

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

Y'all might be interested in an interview with Kaufman about the new (2019) repertoire book, posted 11/3/2019 on chess.com by NM Sam Copeland.

I tried to post the link but cannot since I have not made the required 15 forum posts yet. So you'll have to search for the interview on your own.

Me too. The link text itself contains the entire game; presumably a mistake is there somewhere.

I have the book, and like his last one, I intend to use it as a springboard. As in, the lines recommends as a skeleton/base and then I can investigate his recommendations on ChessBase independently to form more detailed analyses. Not as a single source repertoire solely from this book.

Also, when I was last in Paris, I saw an old woman walk a cat on a leash right on the street near the Opéra Garnier. It was an overweight cat, but was walking obediently anyway. So that does happen.

Nothing to do with chess -- Every day in the local park, a guy takes his three dogs and his cat for a walk. Only one of the dogs is on a leash, the other three animals do whatever they want. I'm pretty sure the cat thinks it's a dog.

I bought the book on Forward Chess, in part because I'm a sucker for complete repertoire books, and in part because I actually quite like these Kaufman books as a sort of compendium of recent ideas in various openings. I've been looking at the Moller chapter, and after 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bb5 a6 4 Ba4 Nf6 5 0-0 Bc5 6 c3 b5 7 Bb3 d6 8 a4 Bb7 9 d3 h6, he only gives 10 Re1 (So-Anand, Stavenger 2019, which was solid for Black). 10 Nh4 seems to have been tried a lot in practice, and my computer thinks it's promising for Black as well. The old Panczyk/Emms book gives 10...Ne7 11 Qf3 Bc8, when my computer flags up 12 d4!? as being strong. After letting it sit for a while, Komodo wants to play 10...Bc8!?. Is there a known solution to this line or is it just annoying for Black?

From the long thread about Kaufman 2:

Dink Heckler wrote on 03/08/12 at 13:22:11:
He seems to get distracted by wrinkles. So, he has an idea for a repertoire, but then gets waylaid because White has an interesting idea on move 12 of some line played in a recent game, which seems to give promising play. So that gets lumped in.
You can't organise a repertoire for amateurs on the basis of the latest wrinkle. Next month, there'll be another one and then what? Reading a Kaufman book is like taking your cat for a walk.

I think that just about sums it up. I bought the first one and then (like an idiot) the second, but I won't be fooled a third time.

Re that 7. c3 in the C-K, I suppose it's not surprising that he doesn't mention 7...Bg4 8. h3 Bxf3 9. Qxf3 e6, which has been played by such as Smyslov, Karpov (in one of two games in which he faced 7. c3 in the 1987 WC match), Ivanchuk and Ding Liren.
