Keene Smiley.  Didn't Tony Miles (or someone clever) say that "We have no Grandmasters weaker than Raymond Keene?"

I'd rather be a low rated GM than a highly rated anything else in chess.  Except perhaps World Champion. Tongue

Hmm, I wonder who the lowest rated GM is?

Presumably super-gm (anyone worth their salt, regularly above 2650 I guess).

In contrast to substandard GMs, who inhabit the waters below 2500, below 2450 in extreme cases.


I once played a 2390-GM  -  how do you call him then? Grin


You can call him Heikki.

I wonder which group Kalle99 has placed Gallagher in  Wink

Maybe Gallagher should have tried 28...h4, which appears to be satisfactory for Black.

I would think that the Fianchetto lines would be the most unpleasant (psychologically at least) for Black to meet as White has no targets for Black to attack and has a safe king. Yet these are the only lines I have never played. I have always played the Classical lines with White, although it has taken many years (and defeats) to turn this into a positive score.

Wouldn't mind taking up the Fianchetto lines, anyone recommend a good book? The only one I'm aware of is Ljangava's Gambit book.


Janjgava's is actually fairly decent, it is not fantastic, but it's definitely a must-buy as its the only recent source, and it is not so bad.

Ignore Gallagher's (or Martin's?!) very dismissive review on the Chesspub site. i suspect Gallagher is just plain scared of people taking up the fianchetto. Janjgava definitely gets at least 3 stars out of 5 for me. The lack of verbal explanations shouldn't bother you, from what i read of your other posts, it seems you are strong enough to assess positions for yourself.

Incidentally a Janjgava suggestion was played a few days ago at ETC, and guess who was the victim?!

A Delchev (2613)-Jo Gallagher (2497),

Looks easy doesn't it.   Wink


Incredible that Gallagher still persists with this ugly line.
