Ruy Lopez Chigorin cd cd bd7
In this line seems a bit odd that Tal plays Black in a line where he destroyed Hjartarson 2 years earlier and gets an easy draw. Similarly Leko couldn't do anything v Short later. Anyone able to clari...

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...

Zaitsev Variation - Chesspub coverage
I complained before about the dearth of this, and it has been somewhat remedied. However I was recently a little shocked to see that the highly theoretical 17...f5 variation has not been treated at a...

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...

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...

Karpov variation
Hi,
I found only 1 game featuring the Karpov variation. What's the theoretical status of it? Are there important games to know and did anything appear on it lately? regards Started 10/24/08 at 20:30:43 by Nightlamp |

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).
