on to why moro has not played the french as often its because he has been playing the sicilian which he played rather well in san luis. He also ventures out e5 from time to time.

In the little known game below GMI Dragutin Sahovic chose the main continuation against Burn set-up. I hope it may be useful for someone.

@M.Pytel: merci pour la partie, le debut  est dans un des livres de Psakhis.


De rien. Je ne savais pas que L. Psakhis a inclu cette partie dans son livre. J'espere qu'elle est interessante.

[quote author=lnn2 link=1142914267/0#2 date=1148024414]hello,

after moro's 7. Nf3 a6, don't think a move like 8.g3 can refute blacks opening, unless its Kasparov on the White side. 8. c4 was the main problem (according to Finkel in CBM), but imho its only a medium-sized problem, not unsolvable. To avoid 8. c4, volkov played 7... f5 against ivanchuk to force 8. Nc3 (8. Ng3 c5= Psakhis), but after 8. Nc3 a6 9. g3 b5 10. Bg2 Bb7 11. 0-0 c5 12. d5 b4, we now know the "misplaced" knight on c3 can be given up! (Ivanchuk-Volkov, European Club Cup 05). Still i think the theory is rather unclear and its not inconceivable that Black can find a defence with Fritz in 2010... 

The Ivanchuk game does not look at all clear to me. Do you know of any website with decent level analysis of this game? If the knight sacrifice is incorrect, 7... f5 might be the way to play, although I agree that this push does not look safe.

Hello,

I agree that if white keeps on white square bishops he can create more problems for black. There is an old Korchnoi v Petrosian game on this theme, which I would quote, but does not seem to have made it to Chessbase. The official theory is with Ba6 though...
         Nowdays, I tend to think black's bad pawn structure is too much to handle, and would play the simpler B*N, especially against a higher rated opponent. Opposite side castling mostly occurs and black can decide to invest time for two bishops with Be7, the game is interesting enough.

Still i think the theory is rather unclear and its not inconceivable that Black can find a defence with Fritz in 2010... Psakhis gives 9. Qe2 intending 0-0-0 following Grischuk-Sakaev, but Black has good counterplay with 9...b5 10. 0-0-0 b4 11. Na4 where White's position looks awkward to me, though Black's pawns are quite a mess. I think White has a slight edge here, but on certain days, might be happy to take Black. Nevertheless ...f5 is always loosening and i don't want to play it as early as move 7, therefore prefer to tackle problems in 7... a6 8. c4 line. 

Your solid b6/Bb7 is rather playable too. i have a theory that in most openings Black can usually equalise if he trades two sets of minor pieces... so i'm not sure if the whole Ba6 plan in Lutz-Zuger is good for White, though it looks rather inevitable and Psakhis gives it as main line too, with subsequent retreat 15. Qe2 as best play. Black should then play f5, followed by h5-h4 to liquidate the weak h-pawn. Its all slightly ploddish of course, but perhaps Black can even win with some grit.

Hello,

It is funny how there is a lack of interest in certain openings/posts, this one seems as unbalancing as any for black. In Morozevich's  line with a6, both 8c4. and 8g3 look dangerous for black. However, there are several other ideas. A few years back there was an interesting Shirov v Short game, with Nd7 followed by c5. Also the old standby with b6. 
         A few years ago in a Major Open played a game that followed the Lutz game below until move 15. 

[Event "Biel Credis"]
[Site "Biel"]
[Date "1996.07.22"]
[Round "7"]
[White "Lutz,Christopher"]
[Black "Zueger,Beat"]
[Result "1/2"]
[Eco "C13"]
1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 dxe4 5.Nxe4 Be7 6.Bxf6 gxf6 7.Nf3 b6 8.Bc4 Bb7 
9.Qe2 c6 10.0-0-0 Qc7 11.Kb1 Nd7 12.Rhe1 0-0-0 13.Ba6 Bxa6 14.Qxa6+ Kb8 15.c4 f5 16.Neg5 Bxg5 
17.Nxg5 Nf6 18.g3 Ng4 19.f3 Nxh2 20.Rh1 h6 21.Nxf7 Qxf7 22.Rxh2 Qg7 23.c5 Rxd4 24.Rdh1 bxc5 
25.Qxc6 Qd7 26.Qxd7 Rxd7 27.Rxh6 Rxh6 28.Rxh6 Rd3 29.Rxe6 Rxf3 1/2

In the morning of game, was looking at a book of Davies were explained that the Queen was misplaced on a6, and white should play 15.Qe2. However, during the game was unable to exploit 15. c4? and played some wet move like Nf8, getting killed soon after by a d5 break. Instead, white is in a bad way in the game above, and preparing f5, with Rg8 and Bb4 could be even stronger for black. This way would show up black's trumps of strong bishop, contol of black square's and misplaced white queen. Suppose my game illustrates why line is not so popular with club player's though, one mistake and black is dead, although that could be said about many openings.

What are the critical lines? 8. c4 appears most critical to me, but i'm not sure why its not the most popular (White players all seem to use different systems!). I notice the Burn has been played less often lately, though Stellwagen, Radjabov and Volkov have ventured it. But any ideas why Morozevich himself stopped playing it?
