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...

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,...).

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 ... Started 05/28/20 at 10:38:26 by tapchess « Pages 1 2 all »	23	9588	07/19/20 at 08:35:43 By: MartinC

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	13173	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...

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 ...
