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...

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.

What do Kan players w/ NID+QID play vs. 1c4/1Nf3? "What do Kan players w/ NID+QID in their repertoire play vs. 1.c4/1.Nf3?" What a question again.... So, what do you play, for example, if you belong to this category? To make the question more s... Started 12/22/10 at 13:31:10 by HoemberChess	3	3982	12/22/10 at 14:10:13 By: BPaulsen

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...

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	11908	01/14/15 at 21:38:37 By: Pale Horse, Pale Rider
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 ...

Poll: Best line for Black against the g3 - Taimanov??? I have recently started to play the Taimanov in Correspondence Chess, with very good results.

B49 - 9.Na4 Bd6!? hi all, I`m quite satisfied with 9. ... Be7, nevertheless it´s always handy to have a backup line. 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nc6 5. Nc3 Qc7 6. Be2 a6 7. O-O Nf6 8.Be3 Bb4 9. Na4 ... Started 07/05/08 at 08:50:47 by gewgaw	0	1458	07/05/08 at 08:50:46 By: gewgaw

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.

Bd3 vs e6 sicilians? In the intro to "Winning with the Kan" Ali Mortazavi says that some people argue the kan is inferior to the schevy because white can play Bd3 rather than the traditional Be2.
