5...b5 in the closed Sicilian
I recently took a draw in a closed sicilian on move 5 because I had no idea what to do. Having done no previous analysis or read anything about it I started to look at it at home. I found 5..Rb8 with ...

An interesting interpratation of the closed
So setting is Zurich 1953 and Smyslov sits across from Taimonov. What transgresses in the opening may seem a bit queer to some and a bit magical to others. Even though the game was a draw the opening ...

Where did the Closed Sicilian go?
In 2005 Richard Palliser published a fairly thorough book on the Closed Sicilian, Starting Out: Closed Sicilian usually at such times there is a wave of Closed Sicilian games adhering to the latest fa...

Closed Sicilian with a twist...
When I was a little younger, one day I was playing online and played a closed sicilian as white. However, when I went to play 3.g3, my hand slipped and I played 3.g4 instead. I was not happy about thi...

1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 a6!? 3. ???
I think that I may take up the closed sicilian / grand prix attack against the sicilian until I'm good enough to really know what I'm doing against the open sicilian (probably 1700 plus rating?). In ...

Closed - Black Doesn't Fianchetto
After weeks of working through Lane's book, and now Palliser's book, and after weeks of trying it out on ICC, I was finally able to trot out my new weapon at the club again this week.

Closed Sicilian 7...Qa5, 8...Nd4, 9...Nxe2
I have been running across this line of late:

Closed Sicilian (?) Move Order Question
As White, I encountered the following move order last week: 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g3 e6 4.Bg2 Nf6 5.d3 d5.

How to meet ...Nd4 in Closed Sicilian (B26)
I have decided to have a fling with the Closed Sicilian (B26), but I am confused about how best to handle Black's thematic idea of ...Nd4 in the 5...e6 lines and the 5...d6 lines.
In the 5...e6 l... Started 02/05/06 at 16:03:05 by dsanchez |

How to make a closed Sicilian tactical and open?
Hi,
I am a big fan of the Sicilian Kalashnikov (and vs. d4 the Dutch Leningrad), rated about 1850 Elo. Unfortunately going for my pet Kalashnikov has the risk of meeting a closed Sicilian (v... Started 12/08/04 at 12:34:56 by Dutch-Kalashnikov « Pages 1 2 all » |

Closed Sicilian line recommended by Palliser
To my mind (or at least first glance)
1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 e6 3.g3 d5 4.exd5 exd5 5.Bg2 Nf6 looks totally equal for Black. This is Palliser's second suggestion in his Anti-Sicilians book, if no one's d... Started 04/15/09 at 10:25:54 by ghenghisclown |
