this is a opening rep i had adopted a while back for both white and black. the idea is to try to play as many endgame positions as possible. when this cannot be done through a desired variation we have chosen an opening line that leads to a simple position.

interesting approach to the middle game.

Charles, these basic outlines are nice-- in particular the IQP one-- but would you mind terribly to throw in a PGN for those who live outside of the Chessbase empire?

i dont have one right now but i would certainly update you with one. you can also get the chessbase reader which will work with these files.

When I open the web page, it does not display right,

Certain of Charles' repertoires (the IQP one) seems to be an original work and useful at that. However, I'm disappointed that the more detailed of the downloadable ChessBase files seem to be converted from Nigel Davies Everyman books, which are available as downloadable (or piratable) ChessBase files.

For example:
the Open Games for Black repertoire follows Nigel's "Play 1.e4 e5!"
the Gambit Repertoire for Black follows Nigel's "Gambiteer 2"
the Gambit Repertoire for White follows Nigel's "Gambiteer 1"
etc.

These seem to be ripped from the ChessBase e-books, stripped of comments.

As a person who scored 97/100 in Copyright Law on my final exam, i can tell you this is may be a violation of Nigel's copyright. Although chess moves and variations are not themselves copyrightable, the "selection and arrangement" is protected as a compilation. The Supreme Court case is Feist v. Rural (1991) 499 U.S. 340 if you want to google that and see for yourself.. Naturally this comment does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. (I have to say that, ok?!)

PS, the website displays correctly for me. Peace.

Then why, for me, is the web page not opening ?
Master Greg

yea your right, actually thats because if your my student i would give you my copy of the Nigel repertoire.

They won't open for me either.

Regarding the other matter, I can ask Nigel whether he minds if you want.
