Kaidanov-J. van Foreest, Qatar Masters
I thought it was a bit striking that Van Foreest played into something which is losing according to old theory (in a D47 Meran by transposition): 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c6 3. Nc3 d5 4. e3 e6 5. Nf3 Be7 6. Bd...

Looking for resources on 6...Nbd7 in Anti-Moscow

a4 in the semislav
Can anyone explain to me why white plays a4 in the slav but not in the semislav. And how this relates to the semislav being known for being sharp but the slav not so much.
Why is this not played ... Started 07/30/16 at 21:31:43 by kevinfat |

Semi-Slav better suited for beating lower rated?
Is the Semi-Slav better suited for beating lower rated opponents than the Classical Slav? I am 1900+ and many of my opponents are 1600-1850.
