Mihail Marin: The English Volumes 2 & 3 “One of the outstanding chess books of 2009 was Volume 1 of Romanian Grandmaster Mihail Marin’s trilogy on 1.c4. The second and third volumes in the series maintain the same high standards... I give Marin’s books on the English my highest recommendation.” IM John Donaldson “Perhaps the biggest compliment I can offer is that this is the only book that I will now be taking with me to my tournaments and team matches!” - GM Tony Kosten, author of The Dynamic English on Volume one. “Volumes 2 & 3 are fine books with plenty of new ideas, enhanced by his very readable prose. These books are so well written that I think those new to The English Opening will find them just as useful as seasoned 1.c4 experts.” Sean Marsh

New Opening Books The Cutting Edge series identifies the most important theoretical battlegrounds in chess and then analyse as deeply as possible in search of improvements. Thus the reader will be ahead of the current state-of-the-art, rather than lagging behind trying to memorise old games. This book concentrates on the highly popular Sicilian Najdorf. The Cutting Edge 2 looks at lines where White avoids 6.¥g5. Volume 3 will consider 6.¥g5.
The Sicilian Defense, 1.e4 c5, is one of the popular chess openings. In this book several chess grandmasters present state-of-the-art analysis of lines where White meets the Sicilian by avoiding the Open variations. The editors, ex-British Champion GM Jacob Aagaard and three-time Scottish Champion GM John Shaw, have recruited a line-up of strong chess grandmasters to share their expert opinions both on how to play the Sicilian Defense and how to play against it.
The Alterman Gambit Guide: Black Gambits is an instructional manual for improving chess players. Sharpen your tactics and learn to play dynamic attacking chess while studying the most entertaining gambits. Lines covered include: Benko Gambit, Blumenfeld Gambit, Marshall Attack, Traxler Counter-Gambit and Falkbeer CounterGambit.
