“I of course have all the Grandmaster Repertoire books, what kind of Grandmaster doesn’t?” – British Champion GM Gawain Jones

“Perhaps the thing I like most about the Grandmaster Repertoire series [...] is the crystal-clear presentation of the material and the visible dedication and determination with which the authors approach their material, routinely improving and inventing new stuff that’s often not only theoretically relevant but also aesthetically pleasing.” – Arne Moll, Chess Vibes

“Marian Petrov managed to write a fine opening manual on the Benoni and I would even dare to say, that thanks to this book the Modern Benoni will crop up even more frequently in both amateur and professional chess!” Lukas Wedrychowski

“Stupidly I tried to improve on Avrukh...” – GM Peter Svidler

Since the publication of GM1 in 2008, in total 13 volumes of the critically acclaimed series have been published. Recently GM1 was named the Opening Book of the Decade by New in Chess Yearbook.
