Moscow 3...Nd7 4. a4!?
The Moscow with 3...Nd7 4. a4!? is quite the trendy variation, but while analyzing it recently I have been surprised by just how strong it is. White plans on squeezing Black with the a4-a5 push (i.e. ...

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 ...

3.Bb5 Sicilian player vs. 2...e6 Sicilian player
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 ... Started 04/06/09 at 14:19:41 by fairchess « Pages 1 2 all » |

What to do against the Rossolimo 3.Bb5
After 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 I've been playing Bg7. However, after Bxc6 and dxc6, I've been playing the set up with pawn on e5 and re-organize my position. I haven't had the best luck with this. I...
