How to play Najdorf against passive play I was playing around with the engine and looking at the following line of the najdorf and had white sit around mostly passive with pawns on e4,f3, rooks on d1,e1. A lot of the moves below consist of w... Started 10/11/19 at 01:09:32 by kevinfat	5	4274	10/12/19 at 00:33:29 By: halbstark
Lowenthal -- Current State hey All, What's the current state of Lowenthal? I've decided to make this my new project for tournament play. As a working adult, i just don't have time to compete in memory contests with the ki... Started 09/17/19 at 15:54:52 by FizzySoda	3	3455	09/18/19 at 20:25:57 By: TopNotch
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	4	4897	07/21/19 at 02:18:57 By: LeeRoth
Open Sicilian Repertoire Hi, so I'm putting together an Open (mostly) Sicilian repertoire "seriously", maybe for the first time. I kind of wanted to share my plan, and have the ChessPub community check for move order issues, ... Started 10/25/18 at 21:53:05 by fjd « Pages 1 2 all »	28	23576	07/05/19 at 15:40:53 By: RdC
Sweshnikow DWD by L'Ami https://shop.chessbase.com/de/products/lami_sveshnikov_sicilian 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	0	2507	07/03/19 at 07:35:45 By: Leon_Trotsky

4...Be7 Sicilian Ave! Sicilians and Sicilian lovers. Long story short I have been thinking the past few days how to combat various e6 Sicilians as white.

Open sicilian with Bc4 I recently read an old swedish book about Fischer and among other things there was some interesting Bc4 games.

Nimzo sicilian Hi all, what do people think of 1.e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nf6? AAgaard and jesus de la Villa seem to think it is a lot better then it looks. thankis, Zatara Started 05/17/15 at 05:05:37 by Zatara	6	7685	08/21/18 at 06:41:49 By: Gambit
Decimating the Sicilian How to decimate the Sicilian! [MEDIA] "Wow", I hear you say. "Err, but hang on, doesn't that mean you only actually kill 1 in 10 of them". OK, a fair cop.

Chigorin ? Anybody here playing the Reversed Chigorin ? (I know this really belongs in D-pawn specials, but there the post will only be read by Trompowskians, BDGworshippers and 'Killers') Started 01/12/18 at 07:30:10 by petertohen	1	3606	01/12/18 at 08:58:44 By: RdC
B47 Paulsen 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	6406	11/07/17 at 21:48:18 By: ErictheRed

6.Bg5 or 6.Be3 or 6f4 Hi All, I am wondering which is more practical, 6.Bg5, Be3 or 6.f4 in Najdorf as white? I know they all have ton of theory and f4 the least. Are the returns of playing Bg5 or Be3 worth it or wi... Started 05/07/16 at 18:48:47 by Zatara	3	5141	09/29/16 at 04:52:46 By: AntonioAg

Blacks' best vs. 2.Cc3 Tiviakov / Grand Prix I play Najdor 1st. and Taimanov-Kan complex as 2nd defence.
