Taimanov with 5...a6 VS 5...Qc7
Hi all,
I have always payed the taimanov via the 5…Qc7 move order, seeing 5…a6 as the solid but passive option, mainly because of 6.NxNc6, but I’m not so sure now. 5…Qc7 leads to more direct pla... Started 08/25/23 at 14:13:03 by Isolani |

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 « Pages 1 2 all »  |

Taimanov specialists?
Hi,
Which current or past IM/GM could you name as Sicilian Taimanov (e6 + Nc6) specialists or devotees? Except from the one who published about it (Delchev, Van Kampen,...). Thanks! Started 10/28/21 at 10:04:58 by nocteus « Pages 1 2 all » |

Is the Kan still in god shape?
After the 6th of the Carlsen-Anand match in 2014 I had the impression that the Kan was severly under a cloud. I believe it is not a coincidence that Smirin that was playing it mostly against 1.e4 has ...

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...

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 » |

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.
