That’s interesting, thanks. The problem with the repertoire I’m currently trying to construct is that I was thinking to side-step the Sveshnikov with 3. Nc3 and 4. Bb5 (if needed). However, there is also 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 g6 and there goes Maroczy and most probably I would try to get into a Bc4 system, resulting in the Topalov (and that’s the best case as there are also the ...Qa5 and other systems against a Yugoslav set-up vs. the Acc. Dragon). Not sure how to deal with this dilemma – the Sveshnikov is the Sicilian I would have liked to face the least. 

Thanks, interesting what you say about the Topalov, but the reason I took it out is that it'll probably not show up with the move-order I am considering (9. g4 and Maroczy vs. the Accelerated)..

Hi dear friends,

I was studying the Yugoslav the last few days and was looking for a few sample games where some of the most important schemes are shown in a crystal clear way. The games don't have to be contemporary or of theoretical importance - just a few cases where the thematic attacks or defences have made an impression on you. E.g. Karpov-Korchnoi or Fischer-Larsen have made an impression on me and show White's thematic attack against non-Soltis lines.

I am particularly interested in the following:

- 2/3 games in the old main line (non-Soltis) showing White's thematic attack (it would be good to see e.g. attacks starting with h4 or attacks starting with g4 or Black sacrificing on g4 etc., maybe a good exchange sac, though I've seen a few in the Mastering the Endgame series..)
- 1/2 games where Black's Chinese is succesful
- 1/2 games where White is better against the Chinese
- 2/3 games with the Qa5 sortie (succesful or not for Black)
- 2/3 games with the Soltis Defence (showing the most typical plans)
- Maybe 2/3 games with sidelines (e.g. 9. Bc4 Nd7 or 8. ... Bd7)

Please no Topalov system, no Acc. Dragon (unless it transposes to the proper), no 9. O-O-O d5 lines, not really interested in positional lines..

Would be grateful to get any feedback, cheers
