		Anti-Sicilian Rep ideas Hey All, Just looking for some suggestions on a cohesive repertoire that pairs well with the Kopec System. I understand that the Kopec system only works against the 2..d6. What are some ideas aga... Started 02/21/19 at 13:39:01 by FizzySoda	3	4778	02/21/19 at 23:35:09 By: fjd
		Question about Moscow bishop exchange Why do all the sources I have seen recommend 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Bb5+ Bd7 4. Bxd7+  What about 4. a4 or 4. c4 , they seem to score fine? I am thinking of playing this way (1700 level) beca... Started 09/14/18 at 16:02:31 by VGA	2	5273	09/14/18 at 20:57:01 By: kylemeister
		Sam Collins' bias towards White For quite some time now I have been having the feeling that Sam Collins, in his updates for the Anti-Sicilian section, has a rather strong – and hence, in my view, unjustified – bias towards White.

		Carlsen's latest idea Any thoughts on Carlsen's recent game with Wojtaszek at the Gashimov Memorial? That started 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Qxd4 Nc6 5. Qd2. The follow up was b3, Bb2 and 0-0-0 with f3... Started 04/25/18 at 10:34:14 by RdC	9	11285	06/07/18 at 16:15:02 By: kylemeister
		Sneaking Into the g3 Sicilian With 2.Nc3 & 3.Nge2 I like the idea of being able to play g3 against all the Sicilian variations but against the Kaslashnikov and the Sveshnikov Black can play this ...e5 move and change the nature of the game. So I figu... Started 02/13/17 at 19:50:44 by SouthofGrey « Pages 1 2 all »	26	30200	01/03/18 at 17:12:17 By: an ordinary chessplayer

		The Modern Anti Sicilan book by Sergei Soloviov I'm curious on any thoughts about this title. This is a thick theory book at more than 500 pages on 1.e4 c5 2.a3!? discussing various tries by Black to refute the a3 variation. Kotronias in his anti S...

		Sveshnikov vs. the Anti-Sicilians At page 8 we see a diagram... and it's the position after 1.e4... c6 (!), instead of the Sicilian. I think it's an unforgivable printing blunder. (No, it's not a short section on the Caro-Kann, in som... Started 07/09/16 at 07:00:56 by grandpatzer	1	5806	07/09/16 at 11:02:06 By: Stigma
		Best book on the Anti-Sicilians for Black? Considering that it's increasingly more difficult to play the Open Sicilian with Black (at least from my experience), what is in your opinion the best book on the Anti-Sicilians for the Black player? ...

		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	5893	01/14/16 at 09:54:03 By: chk

		Non-delayed wing gambit? What is the point of playing 2.b4 rather than 2.Nf3 and 3.b4? 2.b4 allows this d5 stuff. The only thing that I can think of that 2.b4 avoids is 2...g6. Is there something else? Started 07/14/15 at 14:43:08 by gauss	4	5353	07/23/15 at 17:19:11 By: gauss
		1. e4 c5 2. Sf3 e6 3. g3 a6 This 3. g3 is getting popular, and I was thinking about how a Kan player who is also a Najdorf player can exploit this for an advantage.

		2. Nc3 g6 ? Is it anything wrong with the move order 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 g6 ? Strange enough Rogozenko doesn't cover it in "Anti Sicilians" when he do cover 2 ... Nc6, 2 ... d6 and 2 ... e6.
