		Question about Moscow bishop exchange Why do all the sources I have seen recommend 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Bb5+ Bd7 4. Bxd7+ What about 4. a4 or 4. c4 , they seem to score fine? I am thinking of playing this way (1700 level) beca... Started 09/14/18 at 17:02:31 by VGA	2	316	09/14/18 at 21:57:01 By: kylemeister
		Sam Collins' bias towards White For quite some time now I have been having the feeling that Sam Collins, in his updates for the Anti-Sicilian section, has a rather strong – and hence, in my view, unjustified – bias towards White.

		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... Started 02/04/18 at 09:21:00 by Mark L	2	771	06/18/18 at 21:12:31 By: RdC
		Carlsen's latest idea Any thoughts on Carlsen's recent game with Wojtaszek at the Gashimov Memorial? That started 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Qxd4 Nc6 5. Qd2. The follow up was b3, Bb2 and 0-0-0 with f3... Started 04/25/18 at 11:34:14 by RdC	9	1424	06/07/18 at 17:15:02 By: kylemeister
		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? Started 01/05/07 at 12:58:40 by sssthepro « Pages 1 2 all »	27	15319	06/03/18 at 21:12:25 By: MW

I have only briefly looked at some lines, but I like it since it fits well with my current repertoire and yet adds more analysis in con...

		Sneaking Into the g3 Sicilian With 2.Nc3 & 3.Nge2 I like the idea of being able to play g3 against all the Sicilian variations but against the Kaslashnikov and the Sveshnikov Black can play this ...e5 move and change the nature of the game. So I figu... Started 02/13/17 at 19:50:44 by SouthofGrey « Pages 1 2 all »	26	6320	01/03/18 at 17:12:17 By: an ordinary chessplayer

		The Modern Anti Sicilan book by Sergei Soloviov I'm curious on any thoughts about this title. This is a thick theory book at more than 500 pages on 1.e4 c5 2.a3!? discussing various tries by Black to refute the a3 variation. Kotronias in his anti S...

		Sveshnikov vs. the Anti-Sicilians At page 8 we see a diagram... and it's the position after 1.e4... c6 (!), instead of the Sicilian. I think it's an unforgivable printing blunder.

Considering that it's increasingly more difficult to play the Open Sicilian with Black (at least from my experience), what is in your opinion the best book on the Anti-Sicilians for the Black player? ...

		Non-delayed wing gambit? What is the point of playing 2.b4 rather than 2.Nf3 and 3.b4? 2.b4 allows this d5 stuff. The only thing that I can think of that 2.b4 avoids is 2...g6. Is there something else? Started 07/14/15 at 15:43:08 by gauss	4	2618	07/23/15 at 18:19:11 By: gauss
