Jun-05-03 | | ivan2kilu: Marin is a top player on worldchessnetwork.com, find him there! |
|
Feb-05-04 | | ruylopez900: A good book by Mihail Marin is "Secrets of Chess Defense". Good ideas on an oft forgotten subject. |
|
Mar-18-04 | | Gypsy: I second the prize of the book. |
|
Jun-13-04 | | BiLL RobeRTiE: Just a question regarding transliteration - what's the proper way of saying [and spelling in English] this dude's first name? I've heard it pronounced Mi(ch)ail, with the (ch) being sort of a guttural sound, like the one that one makes when one hawks a loogie or pronounces the name 'Bach' correctly. Is this right? |
|
Jun-13-04 | | Knezh: That is indeed correct. |

|
Mar-12-05 | | TheHappyPrince: I think Marin was Judit Polgar's second during Corus this year. |
|
Mar-12-05 | | cade: This guy really loves his draws. |
|
Nov-12-05 | | Hesam7: "Secrets Of Attacking Chess" is a wonderful book by Marin. I really enjoy reading it. Highly recommended. |
|
Nov-12-05 | | 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. |
|
Nov-12-05 | | KingG: <Hesam7> Here's Watson's review: http://www.jeremysilman.com/book_re... |
|
Nov-13-05 | | Hesam7: <KingG> thx for the link. |
|
Mar-13-06 | | AdrianP: I have just got his "Learn from the Legends" (which won chesscafe.com's book of the year) and it's fantastic. |

May-02-07 | | pazzed paun: does anyone yet own "beating the open games" and also "A Spanish opening repertoire for black?'" by M.M.?
Any reviews yet? |
|
May-03-07 | | Interbond: In British Chess Magazine's May reviews you can find a short review of "Beating the open games".
And you can find sample pages at:www.chessdirect.co.uk/acatalog/CATALOGUE_SHOP_e_paw-
n_10.html |
|
Nov-08-07 | | jperr75108: Carsten Hansen reviews both in his "checkpoint" column this month at chesscafe.com. Both seem to be very favorable reviews |
|
Dec-22-07 | | 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. |
|
Dec-22-07 | | 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. |
