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...

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 ...

Hello,
I am starting to study the 3.Bb5 move as White against the Sicilian. However the third move Bb5 makes sense only against 2...d6 and 2...Nc6 Sicilians.
Which variation for White would ...

Hi all,
Well in my quest not to play the main line Sicilian, I was thining of taking a look at Bb5.
I was wondering, what are the good bb5 dvd's and books out there? It seems that through ou...

I really don't understand why everybody (Jones, Bologan, Van Wely...) today suggest playing following line:
1.e4 c5
2.Sf3 Sc6
3.Lb5 d6
4.Lc6 bc
5.0-0 Lg4
6.h3 Lh5
7....

Has anyone got this book yet ? I've been waiting for it since the dvd came out and I'm still waiting thanks to delays at BookDepository.com. I've seen the book when I recently got a chance to call in ...

I'm going through the 3. Bb5 chapter.
On pg. 126 in the reference Ulibin-Kosintseva is given:
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. R...

I had some questions on the position after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 e6 4.0-0 Nge7, one of the critical positions of the entire Rossolimo complex:
a) Of White's main moves, 5.Re1, 5.b3, 5.Nc3 and 5...

Hi,
I'm searching some material against 3.Bb5 (+). Since I'm planning to play the classical, it doesn't matter if it's for 2...d6 or 2...Nc6.
I've the Rogozenko, but I find the lines he give...

I face 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 with ..g6 and try and play the main line (dxc6) as I see it (Rogozenko's). I know of the knight manoeuvres, but the position doesn't really seem very threatening.
A...
