The Killer Sicilian by Tony Rotella
I have 2 questions for openings experts:
1) Which line is actually the best line against the Kalashnikov? 2) It can be usefull to bypass the Kalashnikov playing 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 ... Started 04/19/10 at 18:27:27 by Templare2 « Pages 1 2 ... 29 30 31 all »  |

Kalashnikow DWD by Nicholas Pert
Well that was surprise, another Sicilian DWD but this time another system with ...e5:
https://shop.chessbase.com/de/products/pert_the_kalashnikov_sicilian 00: Introduction [06:58] Sideline... My personal opinion is that I slightly prefer L'Ami as presenter compared to Pert, but both are fine still. In any case, I have not seen any material, neither book nor database nor DWD, about Kalashnikow since the Everyman book. But that book was several years ago.

The Sicilian Taimanov-Scheveningen
Does anyone have Ramirez's DVD on the Taimanov-Scheveningen?
How old is it and is it any good? Started 07/19/19 at 05:16:49 by MW |

Sweshnikow DWD by L'Ami

01: Introduction [04:00] Sidelines 01: Rare Moves - 6.Nf5/Nxc6/Nf3/Nb3 - Video notation [11:14] 02: 6.Nde2 Bc5 - ... Looks interesting, and author is good. L'Ami should write books too, not sure why he only does DWDs. Started 07/03/19 at 07:35:45 by Leon_Trotsky |

No more open sicilians?
Dear friends, I have seen a lo of antisicilians among very strong players around 2700. Can we conclude that the open sicilian is too risky for white? Caruana only plays Ragozin against Carlsen... perh...

Hi there,
sometimes you play an opening for a long time, but you still don't get it: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cd4 4.Nd4 Nc6 5.Nc3 Qc7 is well-known, then my far weaker opponent played 6.Ndb5 Qb... Started 11/07/17 at 12:37:08 by gewgaw |

6. Bg5 7... h6 vs. 7... Qb6??
It seems like 7... Qb6 is just a better move order than the Delayed Poisoned Pawn move order: 7... h6. 7... h6 just allows White to go 9. a3! Which has been doing well at the top level lately. 7... Qb...

6.Bg5 in najdorf
