Rossolimo/3...e6,4.Bxc6
Hi,
I play 3..e6 agains the Rossolimo. In about every 3rd game I get 4.Bxc6 and I answer bxc6. I dont like the usual positional answer 5...Ne7, 6...Ng6 etc., too complicated play, too positi... Started 04/23/05 at 06:28:11 by vergo (Guest) |

I play sicilian najdorf, and sometimes acc.dragon. Rossolimo and Moscow variations are tons of theory. I'm looking for a simple solution to avoid theory for Rossolimo and Moscow. Is there any good sou...

3.Bb5 Nd7 Moscow Modern Main Line
Hey guys,

I was thinking about switching back to playing ...Nc6 sicilians recently and am searching for a reliable response to the Rossolimo. I'm leaning toward 3...g6 for now, with the idea of meeting Bxc6 wit...

Is 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.Bb5 simply a bit better for White?
Hello,
What are your opinions on this Anti-Sicilian (1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.Bb5)? I have faced this variation a number of times, and lost horribly in nearly every game. There are a few books wh... Started 11/15/08 at 01:17:08 by TN |

1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nd4 4.Bc4 ... a6!?
I played Vigorito's suggested 4...a6, not really knowing this variation. The first 10 moves ended with the same position as that in the e-book line.

Moscow
Hi, what do people think is the best follow-up for White in the following line:
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Bb5+ Bd7 4. Bxd7+ Qxd7 5. O-O Nc6 6. c3 Nf6 7. d4 Nxe4 8. d5 Ne5 9. Re1 Nxf3+ 10. Qxf3 Nf6 ?<... Started 10/06/09 at 19:08:47 by Glen_Rotten |

e6!? In the 5. c4 Moscow line
I like playing the Moscow, but nearly everyone I play is playing a set-up with e6 after 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Bb5 Bd7 4. Bxd7 Qxd7 5. c4. I'm not able to find even a slight edge for White after Black ...

Is the Bb5 "book" flawed?
After 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Bb5+ Bd7 4.Bxd7+ Qxd7 5.0-0, the book recommends 5...Nf6 but after 6.Qe2 Nc6 7.c3 e6 8.d4 cxd4 9.cxd4 d5 10.e5 Ng8 it just cites Kasimdzhanov-Topalov 2004, which ended in a dr...

Is there a video on this anti sicilian?
I seem to remember there was either a Foxy or Roman video on the following line in the sicilian. It is where white plays nc3 then bb5 (it might be after the moved nf3, nc3 then bb5). Well if there was...
