		Interesting variation with Bishop e2 and then f4 A good read (free Ebook) with many games' analysis is "Gagner avec Zébulon". Started 03/16/24 at 08:18:43 by Philippe	0	215	03/16/24 at 08:18:43 By: Philippe
		Why don't Najdorf players play 2.Nc3 Nc6? I was just wondering, why don't Najdorf players meet 2.Nc3 with Nc6? As far as I know, 2...Nc6 is supposed to be the best way to meet the Grand Prix Attack (3.f4), and it is also the most flexible aga...

		The anti-anti-Alapin Gambit In their book "The Anti-Alapin Gambit" authors Hansen and Lakdawala dismiss 5.Nc3 after 2.c3 d5 3.exd5 Nf6?! (my evaluation) 4.Bb5+ Nbd7 as "harmless".  Even if they are right, what's the harm in Whit... Started 03/19/23 at 11:10:15 by George Jempty	4	1895	07/22/23 at 13:15:08 By: bragesjo
		Any books with good coverage against 2.Nf3 e6 3.c3 I guess my title says it all.  I'm looking for good study material in the line 2.Nf3 e6 3.c3 (3...d5 4.e5).  Interestingly I play 2.c3 against the Sicilian but plan on a transposition from the French ...

		2.d4 and 3.Qxd4 I've encountered the following lines. Is there anything written on these. Its not clear to me if black should be starting with e6 or going for a dragon setup. For example it seems to me if black is no... Started 07/04/22 at 02:12:21 by kevinfat	5	1821	07/08/22 at 16:46:47 By: shuda2
		What move 2 is best vs the anti sicilians Just wondering, is there a move 2 that works best vs the anti sicilians? I guess they all have there pros and cons. Just wanted to hear what sicilian players think. Started 07/18/21 at 00:30:17 by Mtal	8	3699	09/01/21 at 11:52:04 By: Stigma

		Recent sources on the Antis for Black (2..d6) Hi, I just read the Vigorito excerpt on the Najdorf, and was blown away. As far as one can tell by a few promotional sample pages, this is excellent! So, while happy with my current 1..e5, I... Started 11/14/19 at 17:39:34 by IsaVulpes	14	7869	04/19/20 at 19:58:22 By: TopNotch

I have only briefly looked at some lines, but I like it since it fits well with my current repertoire and yet adds more analysis in con...

		1 e4 c5 2 Bc4 Everybody laughs at this line, myself included (does it even have a name?). But in Marin's book 1 c4 e5, he calls the line 2 g3 Nf6 3 Nc3 Nc6 4 Bg2 Bc5 the Karpov variation (is this standard?) and cla...

		[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	7320	07/02/19 at 23:29:43 By: XChess1971

		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	9109	06/07/18 at 16:15:02 By: kylemeister

		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.
