Trompowsky Attack & London System - Moskalenko https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1663173060 ChessPub Forum/Trompovsky https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1663173060 Mon, 19 Sep 2022 05:37:08 GMT Hi, it is as all books from Moskalenko, full with new ideas and suggestions, but without an in depth analysis. The book is far away from a complete repertoire. There are many gaps and sometimes wrong conclusions; for example: after 1.d4 Nf6 2. Bg5 d5 3. Nd2 he misses many moves for Black (e.g. Nbd7 etc.). In summary, I recommend the book for the ideas but not for completeness.

In the same vein, Magnus Carlsen's 'the Rat' opening, 1.e4 g6 2.d4 Nh6, likely comes from Rattus Norvegicus, the big grey sewer rat.

All lines for Black other than what I outlined above allows White the potential to have too much fun and too much initiative. </div> Perhaps this thread should be named "How strong are White's chances". Given spectacular stuff like the Vaganjan Gambit, the Tsjernisjov Gambit (9.Bc7) and the Pseudo BDG (with the extra move Bf4) I've wondered a couple of times if it's possible to construct an irrational repertoire for White with 2.Bg5. Predictably 2...d5 put me off. Today I learned that mostly in rapid and blitz games some GMs have tried 3.e3 c5 4.dxc5. White hopes to play some kind of QGA with colours reversed and an extra tempo. Critical must be ...Ne4. I don't believe for a second that White can play for even a minimal edge like that, but perhaps he/she can create some mess? </div> I think the main idea is to throw the opponent off and out of theory? Not necessarily going for "theoretical" or academic advantage.

Most books reconmend for white that you play g3, finchetto the bishop and attack on the aueenside but i feel black seems ok and was lookimg for other options. Thanks.

A friend of mine kept referring to it as the Vaganian gambit, but as far as i know that one just gives the b2-pawn with a Nc3 and Bf4-d2 set-up. Or are both ideas of Vaganian? best book The Trompovsky https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1404229928 ChessPub Forum/Trompovsky https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1404229928 Mon, 7 Jul 2014 12:29:04 GMT <a href="https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1404229928/0#0">TomKarlsen wrote</a> on 07/01/14 at 15:52:07: <div id="2B30325F05">iam going back too the trompovsky. i have Wells old book from 2004.
