“Beating the Open Games, joined with A Spanish Repertoire for Black, is the greatest repertoire book(s) ever written for players 1800 right to grandmaster. Marin’s legend as a serious chess writer seems to grow every time he puts his fingers on a keyboard.”
IM Jeremy Silman (full review)
“Sensational”
GM Glenn Flear New in Chess
“I would strongly recommend this book to any actual or potential 1.e4 e5 player.”
Steve Giddins BCM
“This book provides something for every level of player, from around 1500 to even strong grandmasters. If you play 1.e4 as White or 1…e5 as Black, you will not regret purchasing this book, it is well worth it and then some!”
