1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Bb4
I've decided to return to playing the 2...Bb4 line against the English. Besides transpositional possibilities, is there any substantial (written?) material I can find on this in one place? Even a ch...

1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g3 f5 4.Bg2 Nf6 5.e3 d5!?
Anyone have experience with this line? It seems to score tremendously for Black.

Can anyone help me with the following: 1. c4, e5. 2. g3, Bc5. 3.Bg2, Qf6. 4. e3, c6. 5. Nc3, Ne7. I find this difficult in that it is almost impossible to gain control of d5. In playing white, h...

Carlsen - Kramnik, London Classic
If anyone is interested, Magnus Carlsen played 1. c4 and Kramnik chose to enter the Reversed Dragon. If I wasn't at work right now I'd compare it with Marin, but here is the completed game:

How about the Dragadorf Reversed?
When playing through the first moves of Anand-Topalov (11th game) I wondered how well Knight e4 would be placed on c4 instead. In other words, is a Dragadorf with colours reversed a viable idea?

closed sicilian with colours reverse
I want to ask if the format Pawns{g6-f5-e5-d6} with Nc6 and Nf6(reverse closed Sicilian) is good against English.
It deserved to study that formation? Started 05/01/10 at 08:41:06 by dimis (Ex Member) |

Problem in the Botvinnik System
What can I do against this line:
1. c4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. e4 Bc5 ? Usually, since I want to get a set up of: Nge2 / g3 / Bg2 / d3 / a3 / Rb1 / h3 / Be3, I would continue with 4. d3 but after 4... c6! I'm not sure what white should do. Any suggestions... Started 06/23/13 at 04:43:33 by Plyo |
