Hello

Is there any book with a collection of repertoires? for the attacker, for the positional, for the gambitier, for the busy, for the theorician, for the rookie, ..... repertoires and more repertoires suggestions..... even based in openings affinities,

Of course I suppose such a book will not enter in details, but it would be a good reference where to look....

does this exists?

thx

Not a book, but the following does address some of what you mention....click on the names (GM Andrew Martin, GM Nigel Davies) in upper left corner of webpage for their respective repertoires.

Also a couple of good repertoire books, by Jef Kaan and Pete Tamburro respectively, targeted to the beginner-intemediate level player, each of which address, to varying degrees, some of your requirements, e.g., multiple repertoire suggestions...

It might be of interest to look at How to Build Your Chess Opening Repertoire  by Steve Giddins (2003).

For more info on the Jef Kaan's continuing quest to construct the "best" possible opening repertoire (he is apparently working on a GM level repertoire) check out his blog at:

it's not so much a GM repertoire, but more a computer- and/or correspondence

chess repertoire which i made; for the time being not going to write it up in a book, also because the moves tend to vary year by year (although converging lately) because i play correspondence chess.  Anyway, for intermediate level my earlier book is still applicable, and there's a Kindle version which is much cheaper than the paper version

Thank you Jefk.  I have recommended your excellent openings repertoire book in several forum threads on chess.com!
