Marin's English Love Vol.1

Engelsk-spesialisten Marin serverer to DVD'er om å spille 1 c4 med hvit. Denne første handler mest om 1...e5 2 g3, og litt om svarene 1... f5 og 1... Sf6. Marin justerer noe på repertoaret etter de tre suksessbøkene sine for noen år siden.

ChessBase sin egen omtale:

1…e5, Dutch and Indian setups

For many great players from different generations the English opening has been a logical complement to 1.d4. By delaying the advance of the d-pawn White can avoid certain popular defences such as the Nimzoindian or the Grünfeld, to return to the 1.d4 paths a few moves later. But White can go further and build up a purely English repertoire, based on 1.c4 and 2.g3, which is the aim of these two DVDs.

There are a few move orders or systems (most typically the King’s Indian) where White’s objectively best idea might be transposing to 1.d4 anyway (which I frequently do in my games) but while mentioning this in all relevant cases I have analyzed genuine English systems, leading to interesting play.
