source on 1. e4 c5 2. c3 d5 3. exd5 Nf6
Hello! Does anyone know, in which book following variation was advocated for black:
1. e4 c5 2. c3 d5 3. exd5 Nf6 ? I think it was in one of the everyman books. Am I right? Started 01/09/12 at 19:10:42 by Ender  |

Has Anand killed the Alapin as a viable weapon?
To answer my own question I think he has. His victory over Gawain Jones at Tata Steele this year I suspect signals the last time we see the Alapin from Gawain and many other adherents. This relatively...

Move order issues after 2.Nf3 g6 3.c3
I have started studying Panjwani's excellent book The Hyper Accelerated Dragon, and came upon an interesting disagreement.
His main recommendation against 2.Nf3 g6 3.c3 is quite original, but he wants ... Started 01/04/18 at 21:45:16 by Stigma « Pages 1 2 all » |

Alapin after 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.c3!?
Is there any known disadvantage for White in playing the c3-Sicilian after 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.c3 ?
After 2.c3 d5 3.ed5: Qd5: 4.d4 I like the 4. ... g6 variation, but that doesn't make a whole lot of sense here as N... Started 11/18/17 at 13:08:39 by PatzerNoster |

2 c3 d5 -- dxc5 pawn-sac lines
Can anyone tell me: is there any theoretical consensus about the value of the three dxc5 pawn-sac variations that Black can allow in seeking to reach mainline 2 c3 d5 positions, or about the best setu...

Learning c3 against Sicilian. Best book?
Hi I give up. So many variations against the sicilian. I am not a pro player and I do not have enough time to study. Please tell me a good book to learn it well from scratch.

In the Alapin line starting with 1. e4 c5 2. c3 Nf6 3. e5 Nd5 4. Nf3 Nc6 5. Bc4 black can play 5..e6 !? I wonder if this move forces me to play Bc4 systems against black e6-d6 clas... Started 12/08/12 at 23:26:22 by Ender « Pages 1 2 all » |

c3 Sicilian - quick cxd4 and Bg4 line
I play the c3 Sicilian and almost never see the line 2...d5 3.exd5 Qxd5 4.d4 Nc6 5.Nf3 cxd4 6.cxd4 Bg4.
It tends to get marked as dubious in most of the literature and has never been covered by a... Started 03/09/14 at 23:12:56 by tipau |
