	@SF: yes, interesting game Harikrishna-Naiditsch,Wijk aan Zee 2010 with a KIA and a typical (?) sacrifice of piece on h6 after Black weakens his kingside with h6. No more data for me, after 12.Bg5. Seems Black played his counterplay plan on the queenside (opening lines, exchanging one knights pair with the "long" plan Ne8-Nc7-Nb5-Nd4) but White attack on the other side was quicker.

	thanks linkspsringer for game I had nothing about 8...c5 (only data about 8...Nxc3)...but 8...c5 9.Qg4 g6 10.Bd3 transposition to Be3-McCutcheon thread with here 10..h5!? and worth for analysis: 9.Bd3 Nxc3!? 10.Qg4 g5 (10...g6 11.dxc5!? +=)

	In round 3 there was Sutovsky - L'Ami with a MacCutcheon. 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Bb4 5. e5 h6 6. Be3 Ne4 7. a3 Bxc3+ 8. bxc3 c5 9. Bd3 Qa5 10. Ne2 cxd4 11. Bxd4 Nc6 12. O-O Nxd4 13. cxd4 Nc3 14. Nxc3 Qxc3 15. Qg4 O-O 16. a4 Bd7 17. Rae1 f5 18. exf6 Rxf6 19. Re3 Qc7 20. c3 Bxa4 21. Rxe6 Bd7 22. Re7 Bxg4 23. Rxc7 Rf7 24. Rc5 1/2-1/2

	There was a French King's Indian Attack by transposition today. Unfortunately, White won in the game Harikrishna-Naiditsch Naiditsch played d5, e6, c5 b5 as discussed elsewhere, but Harikrishna successfully attacked the king to win in the middlegame. Perhaps Naiditsch could have defended?

	On a day when Black won almost every decisive game in the A and B tournaments, white's only win comes in the only French. Ni Hua (2657) beat Emil Sutovsky (2657) out of the opening. A sad day for French enthusiasts.

	I open this new thread for French games at current Wijk aan Zee tournament... There is another one in ChitChat sections but it seems more about great chess players taking part to tournament. PGN files for round 1 are on chessbase website http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=6064 ; No game in French in round 1 for group A but here is one for group B : [Event "Corus B"] [Site "Wijk aan Zee NED"] [Date "2010.01.16"] [Round "1"] [White "Ni Hua"] [Black "L'Ami,E"] [Result "1/2-1/2"] [WhiteElo "2657"] [BlackElo "2615"] [EventDate "2010.01.16"] [ECO "C07"] 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nd2 c5 sorry for other thread and offbeat moves...this one is main c5 line 4. Ngf3 cxd4 players like Korchnoi and Brynell play here a6 sometimes, but I don't know really why. Is it a transposition to 3...a6!? (Kiriakov) 4.Ngf3 c5 ? I don't know 5. exd5 Qxd5 6. Bc4 Qd6 Black can try other moves too: 6...Qc5 (with the idea to keep eyes on d4 pawn and c4 bishop, attaking bishop has advantage White must loose tempo to play Qe2 or move bishop c4 in order to take d4 pawn back. For example: 7.oo Nf6 8.Qe2 Nc6 9.Nb3 Qh5!? (Dom) 10.Rd1 Bd7 11.Nbxd4 +/=) ; 6...Qd8 (see M.Gurevich's games) ; 6...Qd7 Wolff-Gulko,Durango 1992 where Black will play Qc7 later 7. O-O 7.Qe2!? is intresting but I think Black has good plans: 7...Nc6 8.Nb3 (8.oo Nf6 M Brzeski vs V Malakhatko, 2005 ) Be7! Howell-Levitt,Staunton Memorial 2005 7...Nf6 8. Bb3 I don't believe it is best plan for White to control e5 (with a Nc4 to folllow) at the price of a pawn: 8.Nb3 Nc6 9.Nbxd4 Nxd4 10.Nxd4 Be7 (10..Qc7 11.Qe2 +=) 11.b3 (more ambitious than 11.Nb5!? Tal vs Petrosian, 1976 11...Qb8!?) is better for search of initiative in middlegame 8...Nc6 9. Nc4 Qd8 10. Qe2 better than 10.Nce5 Bc5 11.Qe2 oo 12.Bg5 Qb6 Gwain C Jones-Al Modiahki,Gibraltar 2007 10...Bc5 11. Rd1 O-O 12. c3 Bd7 13. cxd4 Be7 14.Nce5 Nd5 15. Qe4 Nxe5 16. dxe5 Bc6 17. Qg4 Kh8 18. Bg5 Bxg5 19. Nxg5 h6 20.Ne4 Qe7 21. Nd6 f6 22. Nc4 f5 23. Qg3 g5 24. Rd4 Nf4 25. Rxf4 gxf4 26. Qxf4 Kh7 27. Nd6 Rg8 28. f3 Rg6 29. Kf2 Rag8 30. g3 Qg5 31. Qxg5 hxg5 32. Ke3 Kg7 33. Rd1 Rf8 34. Rd4 Rh6 35. f4 gxf4+ 36. Kxf4 Rg6 37. Bd1 Rg8 38. Nxb7 Bxb7 39. Rd7+ Kh6 40. Rxb7 R6g7 41. Rxg7 Kxg7 42. g4 fxg4 43. Bxg4 Kf7 44. h4 Rd8 45. h5 Rd4+ 46. Kf3 Rd2 47. Kg3 Rxb2 48. h6 Rb4 49. h7 Rb8 50.
