Closed - Black Doesn't Fianchetto After weeks of working through Lane's book, and now Palliser's book, and after weeks of trying it out on ICC, I was finally able to trot out my new weapon at the club again this week. This makes... Started 06/08/06 at 17:57:40 by dsanchez « Pages 1 2 all »	21	23286	06/21/17 at 17:27:10 By: an ordinary chessplayer
5...b5 in the closed Sicilian I recently took a draw in a closed sicilian on move 5 because I had no idea what to do. Having done no previous analysis or read anything about it I started to look at it at home. I found 5..Rb8 with ...

Closed Sicilian g4 f5!, how should Black recapture In the typical position that arises after g3-g4 f7-f5!, creating White e4-, f4-, and g4-pawns versus Black e6-, f5-, and g6-pawns, what is the proper way for Black to recapture after White takes the B...

Closed Sicilian/2...e6, 3.Nf3 Normally I play an e5 Sicilian setup, the Kalashnikov. I change my mind (and play e6 instead of e5) when playing against early Bc4 and against the closed Sicilian. As a Grandprix player with white I k... Started 07/20/06 at 13:10:27 by Sax83	14	10586	09/21/06 at 10:21:28 By: Der Stratege
Transfer from a Closed Sicilian ECO B24 to ECO B47 I will try to explain how to move from a closed Sicilian ECO B24 to an ECO B47 or ECO B80. 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g3 e6 4.Bg2 Nf6 5.Ng-e2 Be7 6.O-O O-O 7.d4 (if 7.f4 or 7.d3 or 7.a3 I think that whi...

Closed Sicilian a Miles move After 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g3 g6 4.Bg2 Bg7 5.d3 d6 6.Be3 b5!? seems possible as played by Tony Miles, my question is if White plays the cautious 7.Qd2 (7.e5!? Qd7 or 7.e5!? Bb7 looks playable for Black... Started 03/08/12 at 12:46:23 by parisestmagique	1	3916	03/09/12 at 19:12:23 By: RdC
Closed Sicilian 7...Qa5, 8...Nd4, 9...Nxe2 I have been running across this line of late: 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g3 g7 4.Bg2 Bg7 5.d3 d6 6.Be3 e6 7.Qd2 Qa5 8.Nge2 Nd4 9.0-0 And now I'm wondering why no one ever seems to comment on 9...Nx...

Closed Sicilian: hedgehog with/without Fianchetto? I like open postions thats why I tried everything through the last months to find something what could fit me against the closed Sicilian. I know now that it does not exist! Either you build up with d... Started 04/17/05 at 06:56:13 by R. B. (Guest)	4	4147	05/18/05 at 09:11:25 By: elspringer
Closed Sicilian line recommended by Palliser To my mind (or at least first glance) 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 e6 3.g3 d5 4.exd5 exd5 5.Bg2 Nf6 looks totally equal for Black. This is Palliser's second suggestion in his Anti-Sicilians book, if no one's d... Started 04/15/09 at 10:25:54 by ghenghisclown	11	12494	04/19/09 at 20:30:28 By: MNb

Closed, early a6-b5 Hello. Today I had the black side of a Closed Sicilian, that started: 1 e4 c5 2 Nc3 g6 3 g3 Bg7 4 Bg2 Nc6 5 d3 d6 6 Be3 a6?! 7 Qd2 (a4!) b5!? The move was essentially a slip, I played i... Started 07/20/08 at 01:41:07 by nexirae	2	4276	07/20/08 at 14:47:06 By: kylemeister
Odd idea in 6 Be3 closed Sicillian Something interesting/amusing I discovered by accident. After: 1 e4 c5 2 Nc3 Nc6 3 g3 g6 4 Bg2 Bg7 5 d3 Bg7 6 Be3 Nf6 7 h3 Be6!? it seems that black may well be able to play 8 .. d5!? after nearly ev...

How to meet ...Nd4 in Closed Sicilian (B26) I have decided to have a fling with the Closed Sicilian (B26), but I am confused about how best to handle Black's thematic idea of ...Nd4 in the 5...e6 lines and the 5...d6 lines.

Uncommon way to answer the closed SIZ? Hey, folks, I am tired of always those same position in the closed SIZ with Nc6+g6+Bg7+e5+d6... I need a new approach to meet the closed SIZ !
