Sämish system. What's up?
What is the state of Sämish theory these days? I haven't kept up much with opening theory for the last 18 years but back then the classical bayonet attack was still all the rage against the KID. That'...

How is the Byrne variation doing these days?
I noted this to be the most troubling variation for white in the games I played as black, even when I was the weaker player (way back in the day) and ended my fear of the saemisch. How is its reputati...

The modern Saemisch (Eric Montany) 6 Bg5 system
In the Modern Benoni main line (Chapter 4), Black can play an early Nh7, for example, 9...a6 10 a4 h6 11 Be3 Nh7 . Any views on how White should play eg 12 Nge2 Nd7 13 Nc1 or Nd1?

6..Na6 vs. the Samisch
After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.f3 0-0 6.Be3 I'm wondering why 6..Na6 isn't played more often.  What is White's best line against it?  7.Qd2 c5 and now is the problem 8.d5, 8.Nge2 or both?<...

The Bronstein Queen Sac is an interesting line but I couldnt find a single game on the 2014 ICCF database, which leads me to think the line is busted, at least for correspondence chess.

Does the Black fortress hold or can White break through?

The suspense is killing me!  Please run hundreds more of these games so that we can get to the bottom of this.

Svidler-Grischuk
since no topic exists of this game, I thought I'd create one
so, what do you think of this astonishing piece sacrifice? is it really sound or just a one trick pony (but what a trick!)

Good books on the Saemisch?
Are there any good recent books on the Saemisch?
Primarily I am looking for something from White's point of view but really good books from Black's perspective are interesting too.
