The Chigorin Bible book-Graf variation coverage Just noticed the book "The Chigorin Bible", which came out in 2019.

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...

Gajewski's 9...Rb8 Hello, I'm going to face an opponent who plays the 9...Rb8 variation (7...d6 8.c3 O-O 9.h3 Rb8) in the main tabiya of the Ruy Lopez.

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).

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.
