We were stuck at this point some months back:

After 6...Nf6 7.Be3! Be7 8.g3! O-O 9.Bg2 Ng4 10.Qxd5! and 10.Be6 O-O 11.Ng4 Bd4 were analysed to a White's advantage. Also 7...Be6 8.g3! Rc8 9.Na4! was discovered by Mr Buecker.

I to believe that 6...Be7 is OK for Black. I don't know about 6...f6. I'll look at it and let you know. What i'm worried about is that i haven't found a completely satisfactory reply after 6.dxc5! This caused some lively discyssion some months back here but a conclusion wasn't reached. Maybe we should try again?


I think it would help if you would lay out here the exact difficulties that you see for Black.

Interesting question though. I used to play this system as White when I was a kid and was always relieved when they played ...Be7. I still dont see anything clear after ...f6 followed by ....c4

It's my impression that 6...Be7 is considered the only move which should be sufficient to equalize.

After 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 4.cd5 ed5 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Bg5, is the move 6...f6 still viable or does Black have to play 6...Be7 to avoid an inferior position?

Unfortunatelly, many of my backup files were on DVDs that were in the laptop case thas was stolen! The stupid idea was to have my back up files with me in case of a PC crash! I didn't even consider the possibility that someone can take the case with the laptop and the back up files in it!

I really want to apologise for the off-topic discussion.

I'm sorry to hear that. Sad

Were all your files backed up? 

One time a person tried to steal my laptop from me while I was holding it in the tournament hall, but fortunately the arbiters restrained the thief before he could snatch it.

Pfff, shit happens. Especialy if you are stupid enough to leave your laptop case in your car in these crisis times in Greece when every nation from the east has come here and try to survive everyday. I left my car for only 5 minutes but it was enough for them to broke a window and get the case with the laptop in it. I hope they'll not sell to another publisher the Tarrasch files.

okay, yeah, thats right Wink

what do you do after 8.g3 Be7 9.Bg2 Ng4 10.Bd4 ?

I give some lines in the 288, prabably far perfection but it's a beginning...
   10...Nd4 11.Nd4 (11Qd4 Be6 12.h3 Nh6 13.Rd1 Nf5)Bc5 13.e3 Qg5 are not realy clear
