Sozin with ...Bd7 The most common answer to the Sozin is 6Bc4 e6. Benko played 6Bc4 Qb6 against Fischer and that has steadily gained in popularity. Gligoric answered Fischer's 6Bc4 with 6...Bd7 and ...g6. Black has al... Started 03/20/26 at 13:37:02 by FreeRepublic	2	424	03/20/26 at 20:14:31 By: FreeRepublic
Richter-Rauzer classical line The Richter-Rauzer has been doing well lately in the modern-line: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cd4 4. Nd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 Nc6 6. Bg5 e6 7. Qd2 a6!?8. O-O-O Bd7!?

Classical R-R: 7...a6 8.0-0-0 Bd7 9.f3(!) Hello everybody, recently I have worked on my anti-1.e4-weapons, especially Najdorf and Classical.

Is the Kupreichik Variation in good shape? I am not sure if the name in the title really is correct, but I guess he was the main player to venture 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Bd7!?. This line came to my attention when I wa... Started 02/14/12 at 14:41:58 by Chessexplained	10	16524	03/07/16 at 09:25:43 By: brabo

Boleslavsky Sicilian This arises after 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 exd4 4. exd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 Nc6 6. Be2 e5 . It isn't seen much nowadays, perhaps because it has a reputation of "good for Black". But is this reputation justifie... Started 02/14/13 at 01:30:46 by RdC	3	6917	02/14/13 at 09:38:43 By: brabo

B69? The Open Sicilian e-Book does not seem to cover B68-B69 (in particular, 9. f4 Be7 10. Nf3 b5) and the only annotated game I see in the db for this is Kutuzovic-Jankovic, Metalis op 2001, which indicat... Started 12/12/10 at 17:18:41 by jdart	0	2790	12/12/10 at 17:18:40 By: jdart
