That’s unduly harsh, I’m sure. Saying an author is like Lakdawala is the worst of possible insults. Worse than insulting someone’s grandmother. 

If there is a special hell designated for chess writers, the first to burn in caissic eternal damnation are the ghastly triumvirate of Keene (plagiarism), Schiller (just plain bad), Lakdawala (prose style, volume of thundering irrelevance).  

*Back to the ranch*

To the database, I’ve not seen it, and it does surprise me admittedly to see Marin writing about the Dragon. Holes spotted bragesjo? I know you’re a real theory guru on this.

Marin is like ModernChess version of Lakdawala in terms of writing opening stuff. He is a strong player and has written many good bases even for ModernChess but in more than 3 bases there are incorrect concrete opening recommendations where opponents gets a large edge.

The base has several explanation video chapters.

Looking at the repertoar most lines look like main
9 000 d5 Kb1 Nxd4 with exf6
9 00 d5 Qe1 e5 meeting the topical 14 Kb1 with Re8.

9 g4 yugoslav Be6 

9 Bc4 yugoslav Rc8 meeting h4 with h5 or Topalov Nxd4 B5 system 

So mainly looks likn only e5 vs 900 with Bd4 that look a bit odd vs Yugoslav attack. 

The base is comple repertoar so every 00 system is also  covered

Well it is good to know. If there is not much explanation or no explanation at all. Chances are the GM didn't do a thorough investigation.

I don’t understand that. You may not like Marin’s recommendations, but I’ve never heard it suggested that he doesn’t provide enough explanation.

For those interested Marin made a new Dragon opening database for ModernChess. Some odd locking recommendatios like e5 vs Bd4 in 9 000 line. 

Not shure I would trust the base, I will lose 2 rated Correspondence Chess games in other openings where Marins ModernChess bases had analytical errors and Stockfish 14 thinks 1.5 pawns better for opponent already in opening fase and almost lost an other game as well but hes recommendation looked to illegal so I computer checken and diverted and drawed.
