Sicilian Four Knights Can we have a Cpub update on the Sicilian 4N please? Especially the critical line 6 Nxc6 bxc6 7 e5 Nd5 8 Ne4. If the 4N is fully viable, it's extremely useful, because after 6 Ndb5 Black has a ch... Started 07/20/19 at 18:42:48 by Paddy	7	846	09/02/19 at 16:00:19 By: Paddy

How is the Taimanov holding up theoretically ? Many years ago the Taimanov Sicilian was part of my repertoire but these days I don't play it. With a new book on the Taimanov due out in the next month or two so I'm thinking of taking it up again.<b... Started 03/13/19 at 19:53:31 by MW	6	1639	04/18/19 at 20:07:19 By: MW
7. Qf3 -- What can Black do What should Black be doing in the fashionable Taimanov line with 7. Qf3? Started 04/20/16 at 15:22:22 by NegiRefutes (Ex Member) « Pages 1 2 3 all »	43	17795	09/21/18 at 18:41:55 By: yolocounty
Bragesjo's Taimanov Many Taimanov lines are as sharp as Dragon but blacks position is a lot sounder so I played it for several years. However there was one line I never liked to play against and it was g3, a line I ... Started 03/23/18 at 13:57:05 by bragesjo « Pages 1 2 all »	19	5458	04/03/18 at 07:50:22 By: BigTy
Kan with 5 Nc3 d6!? I got interested in this move order after noticing that some GMs (e.g. Milov) who use it regularly tend to avoid immediate transposition to the Najdorf in favour of delaying kingside development, wait...

Getting Started with the Taimanov Hi everyone, For the new year, I'm looking to switch up my main defense against 1 e4 from 1...e5 to the Taimanov Sicilian.

Move order problem in Taimanov In all the books I have on the Taimanov, the following move order is not given, but seems natural enough. 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cd4 4.Nd4 Nc6 5.Nc3 Qc7 6.Be2 a6 7.Be3 Nf6 and now 8.f4 instead of ...

New Taimanov book by Markus, Perunovic & Ivanisevi This one looks interesting! http://thinkerspublishing.com/images/content/3.jpg The book on the Rauzer-Kozul looked very comprehensive, so I am very curious about this one.

Recent Paulsen/Kan Book by Delchev/Semkov I have just received my copy and, unfortunately, I believe the book is a lot worse than even the original 'The safest Sicilian' (A great book). Perhaps cramming too much on one book was wrong, but the... Started 05/09/14 at 11:28:32 by zen_learner	8	8819	01/14/15 at 21:38:37 By: Pale Horse, Pale Rider
Transposition after 5.Bd3 Nf6 6.0-0 d6 7.Nc3 I just got a short question regarding transpositions after 5.Bd3, since I haven't played any other Sicilian before I picked up the Kan: After 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cd4: 4.Nd4: a6 5.Bd3, I p...
