	A 2019 version of Cox's Starting Out 1.d4 rep? In 2006, John Cox's "Starting Out: 1.d4!" came out.

	Startling Opening Repertoire - New Edition I noticed this on the Gambit site, coming September 2019. IIRC the original book was a 1 e4 repertoire with the Max Lange, Qxd4 +Rossolimo Sicilians, and Two Knights French.

	Post-mortem analysis on that locked thread You know the one. Best keep this as impersonal and dispassionate as possible, it would help to not name names. But, if we don't learn from our blunders, we are doomed to repeat them. I lurk on El...

	Is this a real trick? I'm about 1700 and I was playing in a rapid tournament against a lower-rated opponent. I think he was 13. He played OK but dropped a pawn in the opening and we ended up in this position (roughly). Unf... Started 09/22/19 at 06:56:17 by gwnn « Pages 1 2 all »	16	1487	09/24/19 at 09:37:06 By: Dink Heckler

	Why didn't Carlsen claim a draw against Ding? In Game 3 of the playoffs of the Sinquefield tournament in St. Louis, Carlsen could've claimed a draw against Ding, both on move 72 and 73.
