I still think 7.Nh5 is eqalizer. I don't argue that your line is playabe, it's just too risky. I want variation where i can choose between some continuations.


This strikes me as a bit odd. Isn't the Four Pawns full of lines in which both sides are walking tightropes?

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

Everytime I choose the KI I hope that White plays something overextending and overcommitting - the 4 Pawns is the best example. White goes for the kill and burns all his bridges - let's just wait for the counterchance.

Perhaps there is a theoretical advantage in the 4PA (consult Vaisser) but in a practical game it mostly turns out to be a mess where Black has his fair share of chances.

If White had "a way to get advantage" in the Four Pawns, it would presumably be a lot more common than it is.  I mean, even the Classical seems usually regarded as leading to equal or unclear positions in the best-play lines.

Ender,

I've already offered you a playable suggestion against the 7..Nh5 line but you've yet to indicate why it's no good apart from ...Ng2 check and what seemed to be an incorrect evaluation based on material and statics.
Have all Grandmasters given up this line because of ...Nh5 ??

It seems odd that move 7 prompts you to give up a variation completely.

Hi Nelson!
You give me line where i need to sacrifice material and i don't like to n such situation where i NEED to sacrifice something and don't have alternatives.
I still think 7.Nh5 is eqalizer. I don't argue that your line is playabe, it's just too risky. I want variation where i can choose between some continuations.

Yes, but he don't play this variation recently. I think the reason may be 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 g6 3 Nc3 Bg7 4 e4 d6 5 Nf3 0-0 6 h3 e5 7 d5 Nh5 . I think white is no better there, and black has an easy game.

Dear chess friends!
After couple of months I definitely gave up Krasenkov/Makagonov system, since black have nice possibilites with quick Nh5 (as pointed out in a recent Markos book).
Now I'm thinking about 4 pawns attack. Is this line theoretically betterer than Krasenkow/Makagonov? Is there any way to get advantage there?

Or maybe someone can recommand me some books on this variation?
I know Konikowski's and Vaisser's books. Which is better?
Thank You
Ender
