Wise words Ametanoitos, this whole ...exd4 does not feel like a Modern in any case  Wink


What about 4...Nd7 5.f4!? If Black doesnt fancy this maybe the best order is 4...e5 5.Nf3 Nd7 (I believe the endgame 5.dxe5 is not to be feared these days as I like Morozevichs treatement)


5.f4 e5 6.fxe5 dxe5 7.d5 Nf6 is considered the best white can get from the 5.f4 move order but this is known not to give white an advantage. The problem with all these minor lines is the small number of practical games played and so is difficult to make safe conclusions but i like black's resourses (even if i prefer the benko over the KID/Modern!).  I'm more worried about the transositions to 1.e4 openings (pirc,modern systems) after 1..g6 or 1..d6

I didnt know that the ....Nh6 idea had been revived, it is interesting indeed - although Blacks best may be to transpose back into a Nd7 KID earlier.

What about 4...Nd7 5.f4!? If Black doesnt fancy this maybe the best order is 4...e5 5.Nf3 Nd7 (I believe the endgame 5.dxe5 is not to be feared these days as I like Morozevichs treatement)

Interesting, Ametanoitos. Can you say more?[/quote]

SOS 4: An Indian SOS, part I (Rogazenko) 4..Nd7 5.Nf3 (other moves are also covered in detail) e5 6.Be2 c6 7.O-O (i give only the main line given in every book about the modern) Nh6! (my exclam) 8.c5 (the absolute test!) dxc5 9.dxe5 and now every book (including Grivas') give only 9..O-O with white having an advantage (Rogozenko also gives analysis to claim equality for black here!) but "Rogo" concentrates on the rare move 9..Qc7 which gives excellent play.

As for parisestmagique's line Grivas is a specialist on White's side (he won against Azmai some days ago!) and gives 8..h6 9.Qd2 and 9.Be2 both leading to white advantage as is the 8..f5 9.h5 or even 9.exf5. Speelman doesn't trust this line anymore. I think you should consentrate on Rogozenko's suggestions

Here i have a problem 8... f5 and 8... h6 seems ok for Black. Any idea of what is the best ? Maybe i will follow Grandmaster Speelman and play h6.

I think that white has nothing. let's analyse if you want  1.d4 g6 2.c4 Bg7 3.e4 d6 4.Nc3 e5 5.Nf3 exd4 6.Nxd4 Nc6
7.Be3 Cge7

[quote author=parisestmagique link=1159792065/0#7 date=1160042628]After 5.Nf3 i play exd4 to stay in the Modern[/quote]

Does that mean that you develop your K Knight to -e7 or -h6? Otherwise you will be transposing to the KID and conceding a solid edge to White. This is probably still your best option though...

5.Nf3 exd4 is a good line for White - I would worry about this more than the ending which Morozevich has demonstrated is playable.
