Will there be a chapter on the rare but interesting 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 g6 4.c3 variation?

Another idea could be to present a repertoire for White against the Hyper-Accelerated Dragon based on 3.d4 cd4 4.Qd4.
  

All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them.

Some months ago I smashed the most promising junior in Australia Bobby Cheng with a slightly unusual line of the Wing gambit given in Kaissiber Magazine. It certainly ranks as a dangerous weapon.

I suggest that you look at it


Could you please post PGN for this game? And could you compare the line that you played with what GM Nigel Davies recommends in Gambiteer I?

Thanks

Years ago, I tried answering 2.c3 with 2..d5 followed at some point by 0-0-0.  I gave it up as too risky, but it would be great if someone could make that sort of an idea work.

2.c3 Qa5!? is an interesting idea, I know it's been covered in an SOS article already but that was a while ago now. Even Tiviakov on his DVD admits he doesn't know how to secure an advantage here (although he doesn't go into any detail).

Also I haven't seen 2.Nf3 d6 3.Bc4!? covered from White's point of view before (admittedly I don't have a great many sicilian sources) which would be interesting.

I don't know how "mainsteam" the authors are prepared to go or whether the chapters will be on lines like 2.Na3, 2.b3, 2.a3 etc. but  2.Nf3 d6 3.c3 and 2.Nf3 e6 3.b3 can be quite dangerous too and of course 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.Bb5 (or even 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 e6 4.Bb5) has been very popular recently. Any dangerous ideas for either colour in those lines would be nice to see.

A recent thread in the Flank Openings section has a lot of ideas/suggestions thrown into the pot over what could/should be included in the forthcoming Dangerous Weapons book for that section.
Thus, I thought we could continue this thread with some suggestions for both sides for the authors (Palliser/Emms/Wells)to mull over.
One idea I saw recently was at a Weekend Tourney up in Cumbria when a guy a couple of boards away from me played 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.a3!? Upon further investigation there's some analysis of this idea at EmbarrassedHTML0]http://www.kenilworthchessclub.org/kenilworthian/2008/05/left-hook-grand-prix-with-a3.html[HTML1] done by forum member urusov. 
the basic premise is that if Black plays ...d6 then White goes into Bc4 lines but after the normal ...e6 White switches with the interesting 6.b4
This is not discussed in Gawain Jones new book on the Grand Prix and is certainly worth a second look.

I'm writing it with John Emms and Pete Wells. It's very early days, but I'll post more information once we all get down to the research and writing stage.

Hello,

Anyone know any information yet about this book? According to Everyman, the book is due to be published around January 2009.
