12.a4 in the Keres Variation
Hi everyone, this is my first post here on the ChessPub forum.
The Keres Variation, and especially the Graf variation, have become popular recently as a sound way of fighting the Ruy Lopez. Howe... Started 01/27/18 at 01:18:54 by Syzygy |

The Chigorin Bible book-Graf variation coverage
Just noticed the book "The Chigorin Bible", which came out in 2019. I think this is the first book that covers the interesting Graf variation, 11...Nd7, from Black's perspective since Nigel Davies boo...

A good introduction to a main line
Hi, I intend to settle on a defence against the spanish. As such, I am looking for a good set to introduce myself to a reasonable one, preferably of the closed spanish, of a strategical nature. I pref...

My Secrets in the Ruy Lopez by Portisch
A book by the legendary Lajos Portisch is certainly an event in chess literature. I've seen the PDF excerpt and it seems to me that it is in the form of reasonably deeply annotated games (not necessar...

9...Na5 10.Bc2 Re8, why so rare?
9...Na5 10.Bc2 Re8 seems like a not unreasonable plan to me: first get White to move his bishop off the a2-g8 diagonal, and only then play ...Re8 when Ng5 no longer accomplishes anything (like a poten...

Ruy Lopez Breyer Variation (PC-DVD) by Pavel Eljan
Hmm, I seriously think Chessbase has been reading my mind. They must know I've been flubbing about my choice of defence to the Ruy Lopez. Maybe I should play the Berlin or the Marshall, but, well, you...

Breyer move order
In a recent game, I was faced with an unusual move order.

Chigorin: 11...cxd4 12.cxd4 Qc7
How does white prove this move order inprecise? 13.Nc3 would directly take advantage of the fact that white has no pawn on c3 anymore, but I cannot tell if this is better than 13.Nbd2 which would be t...

Gajewski 2.0
I didn't see anything mentioned on chesspub about the following very interesting game played in the last round of ENCI, see [pgn][Event "ENCI 2012"]
[Site "Maastricht, NED"] [Date "2012.05.28"...|/pgn] It looks like a Gajewski, it smells like a Gajewski and black is Gajewski but still it is not a Gajewski. I've been analyzing this new stunning innovation in detail for the last few weeks and published the summary of my analysis on my blog (because of the painful history on chesspub with copyright earlier).
