Interesting Closed Variation 2. ... b6
Well, this game just ended as a draw, so I thought I'd bring forth yet another one of my crazy ideas.
In correspondence, against the Closed Sicilian, I tried b6 which seemed to bring a great posi... Started 12/21/03 at 18:13:08 by nexirae |

How to make a closed Sicilian tactical and open?
Hi,
I am a big fan of the Sicilian Kalashnikov (and vs. d4 the Dutch Leningrad), rated about 1850 Elo. Unfortunately going for my pet Kalashnikov has the risk of meeting a closed Sicilian (v... Started 12/08/04 at 12:34:56 by Dutch-Kalashnikov « Pages 1 2 all » |

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...

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... Started 04/21/05 at 06:42:35 by nuyance (Guest) « Pages 1 2 all » |

Closed Sicilian: hedgehog with/without Fianchetto?

An interesting interpratation of the closed
So setting is Zurich 1953 and Smyslov sits across from Taimonov. What transgresses in the opening may seem a bit queer to some and a bit magical to others. Even though the game was a draw the opening ...

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 |

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 ...

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...

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 |

1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 a6!? 3. ???
I think that I may take up the closed sicilian / grand prix attack against the sicilian until I'm good enough to really know what I'm doing against the open sicilian (probably 1700 plus rating?). In ...

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...

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... Started 07/12/07 at 05:59:17 by e2e4 |
