I'm around 1750 but have won against two +2000 players with normal time controls in tournaments. I would have had no chance playing the normal KI lines... https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1187171023 ChessPub Forum/Barry https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1187171023 Thu, 20 Dec 2007 17:50:23 GMT By the way, could someone kindly post the corrected version to the below game<br /><br />Prie,E (2532) - Mikhalevski,V (2584) [D00]<br />ch-Euro Blitz Ajaccio FRA (27), 26.10.2007<br /><br /><b>1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Bf4 Bg7 4.Nc3 d5 5.Qd2 0-0 6.Bh6 Ne4 7.Bxg7 Kxg7 8.Ng5 f5 9.e3 a5 10.Be2 Nc6 11.Bf3 e5 12.Ngxe4 dxe4 13.Rd1 Kf6 14.a4 Re8 15.dxe5+ Kxe5 16.Qd6+ 0-1</b><br /><br />Many thanks,<br /><br />Toppy <img rel="&#58;&#45;&#41;" src="https://www.chesspub.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/smiley.gif" alt="Smiley" title="Smiley" /> https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1041721528 ChessPub Forum/Barry https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1041721528 Thu, 21 Jun 2007 09:08:45 GMT <b>Quote:</b><br /><div>Do you mean <br /> <br />"1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.Bf4 Bg7  </div><br /><br />I'm sorry.

I've been playin the Barry Attack a few months now and i seem to dread when my opponents play h5 as black.I can find it very hard to drum up any counter play against it. Any Ideas what so ever will help?

As I wrote in another thread:<br /><br />IMHO Zurich variation is a misnomer and 4 Qc2 Nc6 (4 Qb3 Nc6 often transposes) should be attributed to the English player Milner-Barry who, according to the Oxford Companion, first played it at Hastings 1928-9 (Premier Reserves). For the next two decades it was one of the most popular lines against 4 Qc2, and featured frequently in the games of many of the best players of the time, such as Alekhine, Keres, Reshevsky, and Najdorf, as well as Milner- Barry's friend and long-time sparring partner Hugh Alexander, who used it to draw with Fine and to beat Euwe (who was probably the greatest apostle of 4 Qc2 in the 1930s-50s).
