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	24105	06/21/17 at 17:27:10 By: an ordinary chessplayer
New Davies Closed Sicilian DVD Before what's his name beats me to it, it seems Nigel Davies will be putting out a new DVD on the Closed Sicilian. When I was playing e4, I briefly tried this with some success. But is it worth it? Or... Started 02/05/09 at 22:34:24 by ghenghisclown	10	11271	03/27/09 at 12:27:28 By: boki
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 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!?

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. In the 5...e6 l... Started 02/05/06 at 16:03:05 by dsanchez	6	5048	02/13/06 at 19:43:56 By: guidedbyvoices
Where did the Closed Sicilian go? In 2005 Richard Palliser published a fairly thorough book on the Closed Sicilian, Starting Out: Closed Sicilian usually at such times there is a wave of Closed Sicilian games adhering to the latest fa...

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	12930	04/19/09 at 20:30:28 By: MNb
Closed Sicilian with a twist... When I was a little younger, one day I was playing online and played a closed sicilian as white. However, when I went to play 3.g3, my hand slipped and I played 3.g4 instead. I was not happy about thi... Started 06/17/04 at 08:11:28 by CraigEvans	13	9827	01/15/05 at 06:17:58 By: BigBen
Transfer from ECO C26 to ECO B24 Also the title of this post could have been like transferring from a Sicilian scheveningen ECO B45 to an ECO B24. The point of contact between these two and ECO C26 is quite interesting. Let's se... Started 03/13/17 at 16:21:39 by MARCO	1	2512	03/13/17 at 16:48:17 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 line - just equal? 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. g3 g6 4. Bg2 Bg6 5. d3 d6 6. Be3 Nd4 7. Qd2 Qa5 Does white have anything in this line? Chessbase says that black is doing well after ... Started 09/23/08 at 05:04:21 by BALC	11	11225	09/28/08 at 07:45:21 By: Templare2
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...

1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 a6!? 3. ???

closed sicilian: 2..a6/2...e6 what you think is better to meet the closed sicilian: 2...a6 followed by 3...b5, Bb7, e6 and sooner or later, depending on whites setup, d5 or immediately 2..e6 and after 3.f4 or 3.g3 follow with...

Closed or Taming Sicilian Salut, how about the fianchetto lines in the Sicilian for the white side? There are two options (only white moves) a) Closed sicilian based on KIA e4 - Nc3 - g3 - Bg2 - d3 - Nge2 or Be3 b) "Tamed" si...
