Elementary Tactics
There are some openings where Black can play his third and fourth moves in any order. So there's the very common sequence 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. 0-0. It isn't possible to win a pa...

I remember the book published by The Chess Player in 1979, Spanish 5 d4 by Thomas... this was a long time ago. Although objectively it's nothing special if Black defends well, I think 5.d4 is a good w...

Old Steinitz - just passive or lost?

Hi, guys!

A ´new´ kingside fianchetto for Black in the Ruy!?
I just noticed an interesting game played today in the German Bundesliga:
However, the line cannot exactly be called new. Checking Megabase the earliest encounter I could find was this game: [pgn][Event "Tarrasch ...|/pgn] There is nothing new under the sun... The line looks interesting to me and maybe Black can use this move order to avoid some of the problem lines in the Cozio-Defence. But I am sure White will find ways to put Black under pressure here as well. Does anybody know about some published analysis on this line? Started 05/01/18 at 16:21:25 by Fllg |
