Yeah, that is super cool! Wow!
Patrick Stewart on the other side of the family by any chance?!

Best I can do there is that I once saw Patrick Stewart disappearing down some stairs back stage at some theatre or other Wink

Btw, any news on the Digital version at all? The CB and PGN files. Looking forward to this.

I sent it off a while ago. Dunno how long they wait after book publication before releasing the digital versions. It must be due soon I guess.

I like it too. In fact, I already love it!  Cheesy

One quarter is active. Second quarter is adventurous. Next quarter is risky. And the rest is … fun!

Good organisation of material, good management of sources and quotes, very readable! [And in several hours of glancing (it came yesterday) I have not stumbled over any typo yet!]
Even very serious & solid 1…e5 players should read some chapters (Centre Game, Ponziani, Three Knights, Two Knights without 4.Ng5) as an update to Bologan, Ntirlis, Lokander, Johnsen or Krykun. Everything else is an option in different shades of calculated risks.

Bravo and gratulations, Jonanthan!

many thanks for your kind words; very happy you like the book Smiley

re typos/errors, I've found four so far: two incorrect diagrams, an erroneous reference, and a misquote. It seems no matter how careful you are, errors always slip through...

P207: in the first diagram, the h-pawn should be on h3
P251: in the first diagram, there should be a pawn on f3

my fault: I must have tweaked the diagrams and then failed to proof them properly Roll Eyes

P285: line "D2" should be "E2"
P307: final word of the first Swiercz quote should be "piece" not "pawn" (I guess I had the word "pawn" stuck in my head)

these are corrected in the CB version

A very entertaining review by a certain J. Upham:

https://britishchessnews.com/2022/02/06/a-disreputable-opening-repertoire/

I plan to purchase it as soon as the pdf becomes available at Everyman (the spouse banned hard copies more than a decade ago).

Wagenbach KG is just bad though isn't it?! Best thing is that it's slightly less terrible than it looks.


From the end of Chapter Five:

Quote:
Over the years it’s given us perhaps thousands of hours of entertainment in both games and analysis. And success too: my own results – OTB (long/rapidplay) and CC (mail/online) – with 3...h5 are P316, W234, D49, L33. That’s an 81.8% score as Black. May you have such joy with your own openings.

Sorry, did not men to derail. I thought it was an actual error. Not knowing an Adelman from Adam.
Bit odd that a staff member puts his name to basic admin posts, like uberkeen trainee journos. Then again, it's Everyman.

Wagenbach KG is just bad though isn't it?! Best thing is that it's slightly less terrible than it looks. That looks the wobbliest of the lines chosen, even dumping on sketchy Scotch ...Qh4. But, we shall wait and see what is conjured up to salvage such! 
Other lines, game on.

Hope to see CBV/PGN posted soon...
