Purchased two new ebooks by Cyrus Lakdawala. I did not purchase them because I intend to play the suggested lines, I bought them because I enjoy his writing, he is truly hilarious at times, plus his insight is good as well.
The diagram below is from the Chapter on the Slav and Semi Slav.

White has just played 6.Bd3, Lakadawala then gives the following comment........"A warning to the reader: our last move walks into theory's teeth and is ill-suited for the lazy with academic shortcomings. We must know our stuff inside out. Studying the endless complexities of this line may cause some of us brain damage or a potential nervous breakdown, but this is the chance we must take."
He does sound like Groucho Marx at times!
Proverbs 17:22 ¶ A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
