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...

Scant Zaitsev coverage.
Am I mistaken, or has there been very scant coverage on Chesspub of the Zaitsev Variation of the Closed Spanish? The pdf book contains little, and it's mostly about 12. d5. Concerning 12. a4, it say...

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).
