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	37688	01/17/25 at 21:27:50 By: FreeRepublic
Qb6 sicilian Hi all, what do people think of these 2 sicilians: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cd 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Qb6 with the idea of 6.Nb3 e6 7.Be3 Qc7 8.Bd3 Bb4 9.0-0 Bxc3 10Bxc3 0-0 and 1.e4 c5 ... Started 06/24/08 at 23:30:53 by Zatara	5	4841	06/25/08 at 11:05:26 By: Matemax
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	3968	01/24/11 at 09:30:02 By: fling
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	3505	02/09/07 at 07:31:47 By: Cruyce

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.

2...e6 3.d4 cd4 4.Nd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Nc6!? Any views on this line? It has particular relevance to White players wishing to avoid the Sveshnikov, as well as to Black players seeking to avoid the 3.Bb5 lines, and the slightly dull 7.Nd5 line of...

What is the current status of the Kan? It seems like the Kan is a lot less popular since Khalifman aimed his guns at the Kan and that Black is struggling against 5 Bd3. It also seems the Taimanov is viewed as being more reliable than the K... Started 08/28/07 at 03:47:10 by ano	2	2152	09/05/07 at 19:16:29 By: alumbrado

Re: 8....b5 in Taimanov English Attack Is there a refutation to 8...b5 in the Taimanov against the English Attack? I saw a database game with N.
