Please consider the Anti c3 sicilian!!!
Short ago I was playing in a tournament and my game went 1.e4 e6 2.d4 c5! and after 3Nf3 cxd4 I was in an open sicilian. What do you do to avoid this line?

I want to ask which is the best defense to King's indian attack.
Is the c5-d6-e5 formation with Nge7 and g6- Bg7 a good choice? Started 04/27/10 at 10:58:08 by dimis (Ex Member) |

As a Najdorf player how should one tackle the Grand Priz and the closed?? If I play an early d6 then Grand Priz is good. If I play a6 then I think a6 is a pointless move in the closed.<... Started 07/19/09 at 04:08:14 by Zatara |
