From the “deathbed” of Jacob Aagaard
These weeks we are finishing a few books, all ready about the same time. The following books are all but done:
Tactimania (pdf excerpt)
Grandmaster Battle Manual (pdf excerpt)
Grandmaster Repertoire 8 – The Grunfeld Defence (pdf excerpt)
Grossmeister Repertoire 5 – Die Englisch Eroffnungen (pdf excerpt)
My apologies for spelling mistakes and missing umlauts. I am simply to ill to care. I have gone to work the last three days with fever, to ensure that these books are coming out. And I am not the only one. I hear coughing all around me throughout the day. John claims his brain is melted, and is probably right on the money, as he claimed he had finished Chapter 6 of Grandmaster Battle Manual a week ago, but in reality had only typed in the page numbers for Chapter 5 twice!
A combination of such insidents means that this is a likely publishing schedule for the next few months.
