Tremendous White repertoire, volume 2
By Derek Grimmell
This is the second volume of Avrukh's White opening repertoire with 1. d4, and covers all cases where Black does not answer 1. ...d5. These lines are covered in the first volume, 1.d4 (Grandmaster Repertoire) (v. 1). He focuses on systems that include a Kingside fianchetto, as he believes in denying Black the fun of a Kingside attack as much as possible. So this is a repertoire for the more aggressive player.
Because of this emphasis, he avoids a few extremely tactical lines in which both sides essentially spin the wheel, such as Benoni variations in which White plays an early f4. Against the Grunfeld he recommends two lines, both with a Kingside fianchetto: 5. cxd5 Nxd5 6. Nf3, which gets about 30 pages of coverage, and 5. b3, with Black being the one to capture on c4. Against the Benko gambit he looks at a number of minor but tricky lines for Black before settling in to the main lines with ...Ba6 and ...Nbd7, which he analyzes out to variation B322323. As with the other books in this series, Avrukh's analysis is a healthy compromise between the "tree" format (which nowadays, with the state of theory, more resembles a bush or a thicket) and the "game" format. He has clear main lines in bold face, with an index at the start of each of the 38 chapters, and each main line has one or at most two offshoots at each branching point. Ideas are presented more in the form of moves than in text, although there is some verbal explanation of ideas, but this remains a book for advanced tournament players and international players, rather than beginners, intermediate, or club players.
One of the highlights of this book is that it complements not only Avrukh's volume 1, but also Marin's first volume on the English, Grandmaster Repertoire 3 - The English Opening vol. 1. If you play the English and have appreciated Marin's book as much as I have, you will find that the repertoire choice for the King's Indian in this book blends in very nicely. Between the two of them, they are constructing a marvelously rich opening repertoire in the Closed and Flank openings.
Avrukh gives a lot of information about move-order subtleties. For example, after 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. g3 Bg7 4. Bg2 d6 5. Nc3 0-0 6. Nf3 Nc6 7. 0-0, he illustrates the difference it makes whether Black first plays ...a6 or ...Rb8. He describes how he intended to play 8. h3 against both, but against 7. ...a6 8. h3 Black plays 8. ...Bd7 and gets a good game. Thus, he recommends 7. ...a6 8. Qd3, which he backs up with extensive analysis, but against 7. Rb8 he goes with 8. h3 followed by g4. Wherever he made such repertiore decisions, Avrukh scrupulously describes the reasons why he made the decisions he made, usually with variations to illustrate the point. He rarely just states a conclusion without some kind of support.
Overall, an indispensable book for anyone following either Avrukh's or Marin's repertoires.

very ambitious work; make sure you're up to the challenge!
By Amazon Customer
Avrukh's two-volume repertoire series will surely be remembered as some of the best chess opening literature in history. But at 600+ pages of dense analysis for the second volume alone, this work is probably more ambitious most chess players are prepared to handle, myself included (and I'm USCF 1950).
Just a helpful hint if that sounds like you: I'd recommend starting with a more digestible repertoire based around the Catalan and kingside fianchetto variations first. For example, the "Wojo's Weapons" series is high quality and highly accessible. I think it's important to first develop a complete repertoire, then supplement it with chapters from Avrukh's magnum opus as needed. Over time you might supplement the entire repertoire. The point is that I can imagine someone trying to tackle this monster and never quite feeling truly prepared sitting at the board because you're still learning the main lines. Just my two cents.
Best of luck if you decide you're up to the challenge!

Excellent wealth of information but difficult to absorb
By Yuri Wijting
First off this is a well organized, analyzed, and clearly explained guide that compliments 1.D4 volume one. I have both books. However, I have mixed feelings about both of them. Unless you have lots and lots of time and a training partner, it is virtually impossible to absorb all the information that Boris Avrukh puts forward. From my experience the gap between theory and practice is much greater below master strength while from master to grandmaster the gap gets considerably narrower. If most of your opponents are below master-grandmaster strength then this book (both volumes) would not serve you that well.
So from a theoretical perspective this book (including volume 1) is stellar but how to convert theoretical knowledge into practical success is not so easy. Here is where the book will not help in that it doesn't show you how to convert a theoretical plus into a win but Avrukh assumes that you have the skill to do that. Ideally, if one could learn how to properly handle middle-game structures then books such as Avrukh's would be the logical next step. However, most chess players have the cart before the horse in that they learn theoretical lines first before knowing how to convert superior positions into winning positions. If it were me, I would have focused on the middle-game positions for those openings discussed by Avrukh and then after having a really good feel for them then go into theoretical lines.
So what's the alternative. Well, from the first players' (white) perspective you could adopt a reversed Grunfeld against everything as suggested by Bent Larsen's "Zoom 001" which involves pattern recognition rather than theoretical memorization. A review of that book is another discussion.
In short, I wish that Avrukh has demonstrated more pattern recognition for the openings he discusses. If you're willing to put in a lot of hours and work with a training partner then Avrukh's books will pay huge dividends, but you would be better off first learning the middle-game scenarios of those openings you wish to explore and then return to Avruhk's discussion of those lines.
