		What is 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 e5 called? National Master Yefim Treger of New York regularly plays 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 4 e5 against the Sicilian Defense. My question is, what is the name of this variation? Started 11/21/24 at 05:11:06 by Gambit	3	492	11/28/24 at 05:50:22 By: kylemeister
		(Smith-)Morra ...Nc6/d6/a6 Just some historical notes. In the latest Anti-Sicilians update, IM Palliser refers to this line as an old suggestion of Joe Gallagher (who as I recall advocated it in an anti-anti-Sicilians book...

		A trap in the 2.Bc4 Sicilian? There is a game (Acers-NN) which went: 1.e4 c5 2.Bc4 b6? 3.Bxf7! and Black resigned. Is Black really lost after 3...Kxf7 4.Qh5+ g6 5.Qd5+ e6 6.Qxa8? How about 6...Nc6 with the idea of Qc7 and Bb7, tra... Started 01/22/05 at 15:15:03 by creator (Ex Member)	1	3437	01/22/05 at 20:47:36 By: MNb
		Nc3 or Nf3-based Anti-Sicilian System? Like so many others reluctant to play the main line Open Sicilians I have been trying to decide on a simpler alternative (other than 1 d4 hah). I came down to comparing two systemic openings, the "Nc3... Started 07/01/08 at 01:03:16 by Marno	11	5740	07/04/08 at 14:39:22 By: bragesjo
		Experts on the Anti-Sicilian Somehow the forum seems to have missed a thread on this book, which is out several months now. At least I couldn´t find anything with the search-function. A PDF-excerpt can be found here: http://... Started 05/02/12 at 17:15:14 by Lou_Cyber	4	6757	10/14/12 at 23:03:21 By: Vass
		Need good introduction book for sicilian Hi all, I would like to include sicilian defense(s) in my opening repertoire with black. I am a 2100-rated (USCF) player, but I almost never played sicilian in serious games. Any suggestion for g... Started 07/26/05 at 14:52:42 by Antonos	1	1837	07/26/05 at 19:04:52 By: TopNotch
		2...g6 for players of Bb5 systems For those who play Bb5 systems, what is a good answer to 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 g6 ? Let's assume White doesn't want to enter the main lines of the Accelerated Dragon. Would 3.c3 work? Started 01/24/06 at 23:51:02 by DrFractal	1	2029	01/25/06 at 01:58:03 By: BladezII
		'Experts vs' the Nimzowitsch Variation Looking at Jacob Aagaard's line against the Nimzowitsch in Experts vs the Sicilian I came across a position that looked quite dodgy for White! After 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nf6 he recommends 3. Nc3 d5 4. exd5... Started 03/01/06 at 13:45:47 by GMTonyKosten	1	2884	03/01/06 at 20:18:30 By: Sacapawn
		Playing the Sicilian as White In an earlier (very interesting) thread, http://altmax.com/cgi-local/cpf/YaBB.cgi?board=1e4;action=display;num=1100932208, MNB asked Markovich (reply #10): "Still I am curious what Markovich...

		5. f3 and 5. Bd3 I am no dragon player (maybe one day will see the light!), but always wondered what dragon players are supposed to do after 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. f3!? and 5. Bd3!? ? In both cas... Started 11/11/05 at 05:59:44 by lnn2	4	2962	11/12/05 at 11:01:39 By: kriegerstein
		Open anti-sicilian with early g3 just have a question, is there literature on the anti-sicilian that is open with early d4 but then follows with g3? I think this anti-sicilian could be more to my liking than c3 (feels incor... Started 08/30/08 at 07:04:35 by cyronix (Ex Member)	9	5062	09/21/08 at 00:43:24 By: MNb
		Kings Indian Attack - Karpov System I have recently been revising my 5-year-old notes on the KIA, and I have come to the variation 1.e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3 d3 Nc6 4.g3 d5 5.Qe2, which used to be considered the strongest line, and still score... Started 09/01/05 at 22:17:26 by bewildered	3	3627	09/07/05 at 02:28:56 By: castlerock
		Interesting side lines Hi all, What do you guys think of this repertoire: 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 d6  then Grand prix attack      if 2...Nc6 then 3.Nf3 if 3...Nf6 then 4.Bb5                                   ... Started 05/03/08 at 04:35:18 by Zatara	5	3589	05/06/08 at 19:02:42 By: urusov
		Avoid being move-ordered Hi guys! So, I am a Najdorf player and have always played 2...a6 in reply to 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3. But lately I bought "Experts vs. the Sicilian" and found quite a few interesting and well covered ideas... Started 05/19/11 at 06:38:15 by Chess_Addict	11	7717	06/22/11 at 22:43:32 By: OrangeCounty
		The Kopec system There is very little material on the Kopec system. I know just one Foxy DVD. 1.e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6/e6/Nc6 3. Bd3 followed by c3 and Bc2. Or reached via the 2. Nf3-Alapin move order. Anyone ... Started 09/10/09 at 10:18:16 by Novosibirsk	6	14540	08/01/12 at 07:15:12 By: Ender
		Nf6, d5 or something else Hi all, What to play vs 2.c3 2...d5 2...Nf6 or something else?  I am a tactician who likes semi open/open play.  I have heard that Sveshnikov thinks Nf6 is best but Tiviakov likes 2...d5.  ALso w...

		[B20] 1. e4 c5 2. b3 This variation looks very playable for White. The Rossolimo Bb5 move and the Grand Prix f4 without Nc3 seems to work best. Nc3 may work well in some cases, but in this one Nbd2 was used. Some good pie... Started 02/04/18 at 09:21:00 by Mark L	7	7632	07/02/19 at 23:29:43 By: XChess1971
		Move 3 alternatives? Hi all, I been wondering, vs the sicilian, after e4 c5, nf3, the based on blacks reply, play either the delayed wing gambit, Smith morra, c3, or maybe bb5. Is it a decent idea? Based on what blac... Started 01/13/16 at 16:06:06 by Mtal	5	5341	01/14/16 at 09:54:03 By: chk
