"As promised, the repertoire is simple, but not so simple that it
is not of practical value. IM Sielecki has taken great pains to
research the material carefully and package it into a repertoire
that is relatively consistent throughout."--Carsten Hansen
"American Chess Magazine"
"I like this particular repertoire very much as it's one which
could probably hold the reader in good stead for many years to
come. His introductions, conclusions and textual explanations are
instructive and ones that a human can readily appreciate, learn
from and understand. As I think that I should keep my advice
'simple', then I would say 'just get it'!"--Glenn Flear,
Grandmaster "Yearbook 134"
"A worthy follow-up with the author achieving the near impossible
in carving out a cohesive repertoire based on 1.d4 2.Nf3 and 3.g3
against all but a handful of Black replies. The most amazing magic
trick is how the author makes the Slav and Queens Gambit Accepted
disappear - namely by adopting the sequence 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.g3.
This reviewer gives two thumbs up for for Keep It Simple 1.d4. It
is full of interesting variations and ideas for players rated 2200
on up who are looking for a positionally oriented repertoire that
is not overly theoretical."--John Donaldson, International Master
