		Interesting variation with Bishop e2 and then f4 A good read (free Ebook) with many games' analysis is "Gagner avec Zébulon". Started 03/16/24 at 08:18:43 by Philippe	0	515	03/16/24 at 08:18:43 By: Philippe
		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... Started 03/19/23 at 11:10:15 by George Jempty	4	2151	07/22/23 at 13:15:08 By: bragesjo
		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 I've encountered the following lines. Is there anything written on these. Its not clear to me if black should be starting with e6 or going for a dragon setup. For example it seems to me if black is no... Started 07/04/22 at 02:12:21 by kevinfat	5	2021	07/08/22 at 16:46:47 By: shuda2

		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	14	8184	04/19/20 at 19:58:22 By: TopNotch
		Alapin Sicilian e6 vs d6 1.e4 c5 2.c3 Nf6 3.e5 Nd5 4.d4 cxd4 5.cxd4 It seems to me that there are at least three ways to handle this position as black.

		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...

		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.

		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 14:43:08 by gauss	4	4705	07/23/15 at 17:19:11 By: gauss
		1. e4 c5 2. Sf3 e6 3. g3 a6 This 3. g3 is getting popular, and I was thinking about how a Kan player who is also a Najdorf player can exploit this for an advantage.
