The Owen's -- a defence whose time has come? In view of the interest in the Owen’s that’s been expressed on the 1 e4 … Forum, stimulated partly by anticipation of Bauer’s new book on the subject (does anyone know when this is due out?), I felt I...

Owen's Defence, 3 Bd3 Nf6!? It seems to be settled that the position after 1 e4 b6 2 d4 Bb7 3 Bd3 e6 4 Nc3 Nf6?! (4 ...Bb4! [5 Nge2 Ne7 or ...Nc6]) 5 Nge2 is bad for Black, since after 5 ...c5 (or 5 ...d5 6 e5 Nfd7 7 Nf4 with at...

Owen's Defence, 3 Bd3 e6: fourth-move options Looking at fourth-move options for White in the Owen’s after 3 Bd3 e6, I came to wonder about the following: 4 Qe2!? Some books imply this is innocuous, but is this so, and what’s the best d... Started 09/22/05 at 11:39:08 by Michael Ayton	0	2297	09/22/05 at 11:39:07 By: Michael Ayton
Question about the Owen's. How can black best take advantage of the move order 1.Nf3 b6 2.e4 Bb7 3. Nc3. The NCO line I have assumes white will play Nd2 and c3. Also, how does black deal with 1.e4 d6 2.d4 b6 3.c4 Bb7 4.Nc3... Started 04/14/05 at 00:58:03 by Arthur I (Guest)	1	2380	07/03/05 at 20:54:00 By: basqueknight - Ex Member

Owen's Defence with Bd3, Nc3 and Nge2 Dear Glenn and chess fans, I share Suttercane's interest in Owen's defence, but am puzzled as to what Black is meant to do these days if White adopts the setup with Bd3, Nc3 and Nge2.
