| TheHappyPrince: I think Marin was Judit Polgar's second during Corus this year. |

| Hesam7: "Secrets Of Attacking Chess" is a wonderful book by Marin. I really enjoy reading it. Highly recommended. |
|

 |
| KingG: <Hesam7> Yeah, i've got it as well. Haven't finished it though. Have you got his previous book, Secrets of Chess Defence? |
|
| Nov-12-05 |
| Hesam7: Unfortunately not. But this book is almost fascinating. "The Paradox of Century" or the chapter on Morphy are very original. |
|
Nov-12-05
|
| KingG: Yes that's true, i actually bought the book because of the chapter on Morphy. |
|
| Nov-12-05 |
| Hesam7: <KinG> Do you have the "Secrets of Chess Defense" ? |
|
Nov-12-05
|
| KingG: <Hesam7> No. But i've heard that it's a great book. More systematic than SOAC. There is a review by Watson somewhere where he says that it's one of the best books on defence he's ever seen. |

| jperr75108: Carsten Hansen reviews both in his "checkpoint" column this month at chesscafe.com. Both seem to be very favorable reviews |

| whiskeyrebel: Jeremy Silman has reviews of these two books up at his website. Marin is a skilled writer. He seems particularly strong when it comes to getting concepts across. His prose is way stronger than many if not most chess authors...in my humble opinion. |

| protean: "Learn from the Legends - Chess Champions at their Best" is an excellent book. It won ChessCafe.com's Book of the Year for 2005. |

| whiskeyrebel: My library has it on order..I can't wait. SOCD and SOAC were both great. I'll work my way happily through the 1...e5 books eventually even though I'm a dedicated Caro Kann player. |

| whiteshark: Three times Romanian champion (1988, 1994, 1999), the GM from Bucarest has played for a good nine times with the Romanian national team in Chess Olympiads and qualified for two Interzonal Tournaments (Szirak 1987 and Manila 1990). Marin is the author of three highly appreciated books (of which the Italian version of “Learn from the Legends”, entitled “Sulle spalle dei Giganti” and published by Caissa Italia Editrice, won in 2006 the prize “Alvise Zichichi” as Best Chess Book of the Year) and two DVDs on opening theory. Since 2005 he is also the second of Judit Polgar, which he assisted during the World Championship in San Luis. Among his victories let’s recall: Predeal (1988), Stara Zagora (1990), Andorra (1991), Manresa (1993 and 2004), Badalona (1995), Ciocaltea Memorial (1998 and 1999), Sitges (1999). He is playing for the second time in the “Torneo di Capodanno” after his début in last year's Jubilee Edition. = = = (Italian for Beginners) = = =
Tre volte campione di Romania (1988, 1994, 1999), il Grande Maestro di Bucarest ha rappresentato per ben nove volte il suo paese alle Olimpiadi e ha partecipato a due Interzonali (Szirak 1987 e Manila 1990). Č autore di tre libri accolti con grande favore dalla critica (di questi “Sulle spalle dei Giganti – Caissa Italia Editrice” ha vinto il Premio "Alvise Zichichi" per il miglior libro di scacchi dell'anno 2006) e di due CD-Rom sulle aperture. Dal 2005 č anche il secondo di Judit Polgar, che ha assistito anche in occasione del Campionato mondiale di San Luis. Tra i tornei vinti ricordiamo: Predeal (1988), Stara Zagora (1990), Andorra (1991), Manresa (1993 e 2004), Badalona (1995), Memorial Ciocaltea (1998 e 1999), Sitges (1999).
