Spectacular early novelty in the Paulsen/Kan By analysing one of my recent clubchampionshipgames I bumped on a spectacular novelty very early in the paulsen/kan system. I was surprised that in the almost 1000 games I found with the position, thi... Started 12/05/07 at 20:43:15 by brabo « Pages 1 2 all »	28	37195	01/17/25 at 21:27:50 By: FreeRepublic
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.

Taimanov; 7.Bd3 line - follow up on the October up A recent game of mine in the 7.Bd3 line of the Taimanov (that is: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6 5.Nc3 Qc7 6.Be3 a6 7.Bd3) sent me rechecking the “Safest Sicilian” and Richard Palliser’s joint ...

Sicilian Kan - Nepomniachtchi-Karttunen Hi everybody, I am new here, but I have followed and read some of the threads for about a month, and I really love this place. I am a fairly low-rated (1709) player that doesn't have too much tim... Started 01/21/11 at 16:28:52 by fling	2	3916	01/24/11 at 09:30:02 By: fling
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. I have a little bit of experience in Taimanov positions from both sides,... Started 12/30/16 at 03:14:34 by fjd	13	11801	02/26/17 at 08:48:00 By: Bonsai
Taimanov queen "sacrifice" variation Yet another twist in the dedate over this variation: [Event "Moscow Open 2007"] [Site "Moscow, RUS"] [Date "2007.01.30"] [Round "4"] [White "Kornev, Alexei(RUS)"] [Black "Geller, Jakov(RUS)"]<br ...[/b] position after 13...Kf8!? This move is disregarded in all sources I have (Delchev/Semkov, Rizzitano, Sommerbauer), however Geller comes with a new plan of attacking with the g and h pawns - which works very nicely here (confirming my belief that playing an automatic 13...g6 and followed by ...0-0 is just too passiv Started 01/30/07 at 20:32:53 by Ptero	4	3391	02/09/07 at 07:31:47 By: Cruyce
Taimanov, Kan, Paulsen Hello, I am looking desperately for an alternative to e5. Can someone tell me what the differences between the Taimanov, the Kan and the Paulsen are? And what are the main plans and ... Started 12/03/04 at 14:36:04 by Nausikaa	2	3345	12/05/04 at 10:51:15 By: Nausikaa
Taimanov move order: 4...e6 or 4...Qc7? Assuming that one is willing to play the 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 [IMAGE] move order to reach the Taimanov, I have been wondering about the relative merits of 4...e6 and 4...Qc7.

Anyone writing Starting Out Sicilian Kan? A few years have passed since Emm's book and it would be interesting to see what practitioner's think of Khalifman's suggestions in Vol 8 of his Anand series. Started 02/12/07 at 21:01:02 by ano	0	1446	02/12/07 at 21:01:00 By: ano

Taimanov Ano, let's start a new thread and see if we can get some help.

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).

Four Knights, 7.Bf4.. 10 Nxa8 .. 11 Bb5 Hi, one of the games commented by Hazai in the initial Sicilian batch was Drenchev-Manolov, Plovdiv 1999.
