Novelty for free in Sozin-variation
Recently, on 02.12.2002 the game Golubev-Knoppert was played in the Belgian Interteams.

Classical Sicilian (Richter-Rauzer)

B67 Classical, today's theoretical novelty
16...Nb4? what a novelty!?  (16...Nf4 is the common move) 17.Nf6!! At this point I expected a massacre..  18.Qh4... What? Why?.. Nooooo!  (18.Bxh7!! 1-0) ...And both went peacefully..  Started 03/15/12 at 13:43:39 by Vass |

October's Richter-Rauzer Update
Hello, just looked at the latest update on Richter-Rauzer and it seems that the author had never looked properly at the archives and did not do any deeper analysis of the positions.

Classical Sicillian novelty
Hello!
I was wondering if anyone has ever seen the Richer-Rauzer with a 6. Bc4 instead of the main line of 6. Qd2? Thanks and God Bless, Matthias -- Future GM- 2650 by 2009 Started 11/01/06 at 02:24:59 by matthiasgalvin |

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...

Classical Sicilian Two Knights appears to be dead
I see that there are no updates on the Classical Sicilian Two Knights long ago (last update is from 2006). I do not think that Richard could not say anything about this. Maybe just a lack of time...

Classical Rauzer
The classical Rauzer, 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 Nc6 6. Bg5 e6 7. Qd2 Be7, is nice for black. I wonder why almost no one at the top plays this anymore. Anand, Kramnik, and Shirov...
