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	27261	06/21/17 at 17:27:10 By: an ordinary chessplayer
What to play against the closed sicilian? I have some questions about the closed sicilian, since I don't really know what to play against it. I have viewed several topics here and tried several moves ( 2. ... Nc6, 2. ... d6, 2. ... e6 etc. ) ... Started 04/28/10 at 19:39:24 by Ivo	9	15051	03/29/17 at 02:25:05 By: up and comer

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	2856	03/13/17 at 16:48:17 By: RdC
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...

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 Sicil: 1.e4 2.Nc3 3.g3 4.Bg2 5.d3 6.Be3 I faced the closed sicilian in a recent tournament. It was the Be3, Qd2 line: 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g3 g6 4.d3 d6 5.Bg2 Bg7 6.Be3 I usually play the Rogozenko ..e5 line, which on this occasion I th...

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	13932	04/19/09 at 20:30:28 By: MNb
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	12164	03/27/09 at 12:27:28 By: boki
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	12402	09/28/08 at 07:45:21 By: Templare2
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	4685	07/20/08 at 14:47:06 By: kylemeister
Closed Sicilian New Main line 6.Be3 b5. In this closed sicilian line as on page 52 of the Closed Sicilian PDF file. After 11. Nc1 Qa5 12. c3 bc 13. bc Nc6 I see one game featuring the move 14. Bf4. My question is - how best to deal wi... Started 09/25/07 at 00:55:46 by gringo	0	3140	09/25/07 at 00:55:44 By: gringo
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 and Najdorf Let's say you are a die hard Najdorf player and white begins 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 what now? if you go 2...Nc6 White can follow 3.Nge2 to play 4.d4 and all of a suden you are out of the Najdorf in an open sic...

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	12322	09/21/06 at 10:21:28 By: Der Stratege
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 (?) Move Order Question As White, I encountered the following move order last week: 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g3 e6 4.Bg2 Nf6 5.d3 d5. Later I consulted Lane's book and King's book on the Closed Sicilian, and I had a hard ti... Started 03/22/06 at 23:22:39 by dsanchez	0	2615	03/22/06 at 23:22:38 By: dsanchez
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...
