Why don't Najdorf players play 2.Nc3 Nc6?
I was just wondering, why don't Najdorf players meet 2.Nc3 with Nc6? As far as I know, 2...Nc6 is supposed to be the best way to meet the Grand Prix Attack (3.f4), and it is also the most flexible aga...

The anti-anti-Alapin Gambit
In their book "The Anti-Alapin Gambit" authors Hansen and Lakdawala dismiss 5.Nc3 after 2.c3 d5 3.exd5 Nf6?! (my evaluation) 4.Bb5+ Nbd7 as "harmless". Even if they are right, what's the harm in Whit...

Any books with good coverage against 2.Nf3 e6 3.c3
I guess my title says it all. I'm looking for good study material in the line 2.Nf3 e6 3.c3 (3...d5 4.e5). Interestingly I play 2.c3 against the Sicilian but plan on a transposition from the French ...

2.d4 and 3.Qxd4

Anti-Sicilian to avoid Najdorf
Hello folks,
as white, my biggest challenge is to play against the Najdorf, because after some years of practice and thorough analysis (also the rare 6th moves) I think it’s the best and dynamic... Started 11/10/21 at 08:14:16 by Dobby |

Recent sources on the Antis for Black (2..d6)
Hi,
I just read the Vigorito excerpt on the Najdorf, and was blown away. As far as one can tell by a few promotional sample pages, this is excellent! So, while happy with my current 1..e5, I... Started 11/14/19 at 17:39:34 by IsaVulpes |

Something good against 2.b4
I am having some problems with this gambit. Should the pawn in accepted? It seems that the pawn sac is dubious, but I have seen quite a number of games with 2...b6. What is the best continuation?

1 e4 c5 2 Bc4
Everybody laughs at this line, myself included (does it even have a name?). But in Marin's book 1 c4 e5, he calls the line 2 g3 Nf6 3 Nc3 Nc6 4 Bg2 Bc5 the Karpov variation (is this standard?) and cla...

[B20] 1. e4 c5 2. b3
This variation looks very playable for White. The Rossolimo Bb5 move and the Grand Prix f4 without Nc3 seems to work best. Nc3 may work well in some cases, but in this one Nbd2 was used. Some good pie...

Sam Collins' bias towards White
