If you're accurate you can expect a nice edge. I won't comment further since the position has not advanced further in your correspondence game (or at least you haven't said it has).

In before someone says, "Morozevich played it, it must be good! It has equal theoretical standing to Bxf6!" based on a terrible use of statistics.

One nice thing about playing 3..Nf6 is that after 4.Bb5 Black can choose between three sound continuations, each with a very different character, depending on the tournament situation, the opponent, or Black’s mood.

Some pretty strong players, in addition to Korchnoi, include the Classical in their repertoire. The women’s world champion Hou Yifan, Tukmakov and Akobian are all pretty strong players.

The best I can offer about that position is that its hard Smiley A lot of rather typically mad Morosevich games a little bit back with a6/b5 ideas, but some older lines too etc.

Actually tried it with black the once, got horribly mashed and decide that it was best left to Moro Wink

I asked for some advice only.

6...gxf6 is an obvious sign Black wants to win.
7.Nf3 is most popular, but you might consider Bronstein's 7.Qd3.

ask yourself why the Classical's popularity remains way the hell behind the Burn and MacCutcheon if it were all that great from a theoretical (in contrast to the Burn) or practical perspective (in contrast to the MacCutcheon).

Now that's the kind of statement I like.

Classical (including the Alekhine-Chatard etc.): 375 games.
Burn (including ...gxf6): 945 games.
MacCutcheon: 477 games.

Both players ELO 2400+, games since 2001. Looks like you are slightly overestimating the popularity of the MacCutcheon.
Also interesting is that the overall scores of the three are almost the same: 55% for 4...dxe4 and 56% for the other two.
Of course none of this can overrule the argument of old fashioned painstaking analysis. Mine (which is not painstaking at all, so most likely contains lots of holes) suggests that Black has enough counterplay in the Classical with 7...a6. So I tried it in corr. chess. I found out the hard way how easy it was to go downhill from the moment I thought I had reached equality.
As the Burn doesn't provide enough winning chances I have turned to 3...Bb4. That one has the additional feature that one more pair of light pieces remains on the board compared to the MacCutcheon.

My advise to XChess: while I have an instinctive preference for 4.Bg5 the objective data (statistics plús general analysis) suggest that 4.e5 is the better choice. With statistics I mean that 4.e5 Nfd7 5.f4 has a considerably lower drawing rate.

Interesting stats on my database of twic's actually. I know they're very dangerous to take too seriously but they might help suggest there something 'real' behind this very mild scepticism.

A few thousand games on each so not horribly out these. White percentages: 4.. Bb4 @53%, 4 .. de @55%, 4.. Be7 @60%.

More relevantly perhaps is the average black elo's playing like that: 4.. de 2402 (Perf 2359), 4.. Bb4 @2317 (Perf 2297), 4.. Be7 2260 (Perf 2212).

Does that mean very much? No not really, but the average elo does suggest a general mild distrust of it by stronger players and the score perhaps suggest some sort of reason.

Neither is bad of course, but we're not saying its bad!

Bpaulsen, earlier you stated “Korchnoi is a hardcore MacCutcheon advocate these days.’
So I thought it might be relevant to point out that Korchnoi played the classical about as often as the Mac - with similar success. Just because the Mac is more popular at the moment doesn’t mean much - it’s more just a matter of fashion.


Oh lord. Where to start...

#1) Going by the chesslive.de database he plays the MacCutcheon more, so nice try on the equivocation. He also plays the Burn more often than the Classical.

The line is so awesome that every time he gets the chance to play it...he usually avoids it for other options! Grin

#2) Fashion is dictated heavily by current theoretical assessment. GMs do not make it a habit to face other GMs of equal strength in lines that are under pressure, because that'd make zero sense.

#3) If a GM does use a line under pressure it's usually against a lower rated opponent. Where oh where can I find an example of this? ... Oh yeah! It's in every single game you cited. Grin

Quote:
You claim that White can force a greater edge against the Classical than against the Burn or Mac, but you refuse to back it up with variations. I believe you like the Burn or Mac better than the classical, but so what.


I don't need to back it up with variations because anyone can do the research themselves, plus that isn't the point of the thread. Did you see the thread-starter asking for long variations? No, you didn't.

And if you knew anything at all you'd know I don't really particularly like anything when it comes to theoretical assessments.

Not to be wading into a swamp here, but regardless of BPaulsen's rating, he's demonstrated some impressive analytical chops on these forums, and I respect his opinions (even when I don't agree with them completely).  So I tend to treat the citation of a few Korchnoi games with skepticism.

Your problem is that you're citing one of the absolute best players in history, for the proposition that one of their openings is (thirty years after their heyday, although of course Korchnoi is still very strong today) equal.  Kasparov has a lopsided plus score on the Black side of 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 a6.  Does that mean the Najdorf is actively bad for White?  Korchnoi could have a plus score on the Black side of the Latvian Gambit, for chrissake, he's a legend!  (He does have a plus score in the Grunfeld, as black, for instance).

So I think you're improperly using statistics, and even properly used, statistics give way to concrete facts.


A good example is Kramnik in the King's Indian. Much of his favored Bayonet lines have been equalized against, but if one were to rely purely on statistics you'd think it was outstanding. Furthermore, relying on statistics you'd assume it was the most critical try for an advantage at the present time, when in reality black's quite comfortable right now.

I honestly have no idea why people put as much emphasis on statistics as they do.

Do you know how I know that you have no idea what you're arguing?

Player X adopting Y opening with performance Z has nothing to do with the present day theoretical assessment. Wake me up when one of those games he played forms the key basis for the evaluation of the critical variation(s).
