Boris Gelfand Lecture at XtraCon Open
During XtraCon Open in Helsingor, Boris and I enjoyed a bit too much of the free buffet food (gosh I look fat; luckily the diet has already begun) and a two hour lecture about the writing of Positional Decision Making in Chess. No spoilers from the book though… All of it was original material.

Jacob, are you and Boris coming to the US to promote the book?
It was a great and inspiring evening. 145 paying spectators are a lot in Danish chesscircles.
Great, thanks so much for sharing!!
Keep waiting for the official launch day for new Boris’ book!!
Boris is a very funny character.
Most of the chess I have am unable to following; the spoken variations go by too quickly for me to decode.
@Jesse Gersenson
Can you imagine how it is to write the book then!!!
“Playing 1.e4 – Sicilian & French” is set to be out on 1st of December 2016, stated by Niggemann Germany!
Are they right?
@LE BRUIT QUI COURT
They are right it will be in 2016, but that date seems like a guess by someone in Germany. There is no set publication date yet.
### plagiarism detected!? ###
On chesspub forum is thread named “GM REP: The Chelyabinsk Variation by GM Timoscenko”, where is stated that mentioned book uses the same cover & layout just like GM Repertoire series.
Check it out by yourselves!
Nice idea to share this lecture . Very interesting

@Jacob Aagaard
Could you be so kind to answer Le Bruit qui court? I’m curious about that issue too. Thank you very much!
@Nico
An update will come soon on this.
