I have studied 17 c4 and everything seems to be fine.


Very informative.

What u don't get is this variation is not to everyone's taste because it involves a lot of risks, but even if GM don't play it these days it doesn't mean it's refuted. Before looking at GM games, one needs to look at games played by the 2200-2400 masters as well. It improves your chess as well.


Risk implies there is an upside for Black. There is not. Can you name me a top 20 player who plays Polugaevsky on a regular basis? How about top 50? Top 100?

insults and no analysis

well where are your analysis? I gave some answers after 20 Qh4 and after 25 Kh1 but no reply from you


Everyone can see our posts here, it is obvious who has posted more concrete analysis. Except repeating that Black is fine I have not seen any human reasons as to why Black should be able to equalize with a weaker Q-side, king while being behind in development.

In chess we call it a plan


What is good for if you can not execute it.

As for the second option after 17. c3 Bxe4 18. fxg7 Bxg7 19. Qxe4 Qb7 20. Qh4 I fail to see how Black solves all the problems I have described above. Weaker Q-side, weaker King, undeveloped pieces. For example 20. ... O-O 21. a4 is pretty close to the line I already mentioned in my last post.


21 a4 ba 21...h6 or 21...Nc6 are playable moves

Why do you make Black play bad moves like 25...Nd7? 25...b4 or 25...Rd5 are more interesting


You said with Nd7 to follow!!

and Black seems to just lose the b-pawn with no compensation.

Anyway the main move should be 15...Qc7


But 15. ... Qc7 is effectively capitulation, after 16. Qe3 Bb7 Black's Queenside is weak, White is ahead in development and has a safer king in return Black does not even have a pawn! White can maintain his huge advantage through quiet means: 17. c3 Bxe4 18. fxg7 Bxg7 19. Qxe4

What should Black play? 19. ... Nc6?! 20. Ng5 does not look good, neither does 19. ... O-O?! 20. Bd3 Qb6+ 21. Kh1 f5 22. Qe2 Bf6 23. a4 Rfd8 24. Bc2 Re7 25. g4!. Best seems to be: 19. ... h6 20. a4 Qb7 21. Qg4 O-O 22. axb5 axb5 23. Nd4 again not something Black should willingly go into right from the opening ...

Black just won a nice game in the Aeroflot using 20..Rd6 like I indicated  Cool.

White: Negi, Parimarjan
Black: Shomoev, Anton

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Bg5 e6 7. f4 b5 8. e5 dxe5 9. fxe5 Qc7 10. exf6 Qe5+ 11. Be2 Qxg5 12. O-O Ra7 13. Qd3 Rd7 14. Ne4 Qe5 15. Nf3 Qxb2 16. Qe3 Bb7 17. Rab1 Qxa2 18. c4 Bxe4 19. fxg7 Bxg7 20. Qxe4 Rd6 21. Ng5 Rd4 22. Qb7 O-O 23. Bd3 Qd2 24. Rxf7 Qxg5 25. Rxf8+ Kxf8 26. Rf1+ Ke8 27. Bxh7 Nd7 28. Qxa6 Qe3+ 29. Kh1 Ke7 30. cxb5 Rh4 31. Bg8 Rxh2+ 32. Kxh2 Be5+ 33. Kh1 Qh6+ 34. Kg1 Bh2+ 35. Kf2 Qd2+ 0-1


Beside all this the obvious 21. cxb5 looks problematic as well: 21. ... O-O 22. Ng5 f5 23. Qb4 Rd2 24. Bf3.

What's wrong with 23 Qe3 Qd2?


22. Qe3 Qd2 23. Qxd2 Rxd2 24. Bh5 Bd4+ 25. Kh1 Rf2 26. Nxe6

* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *

Black might in the end draw but it will be a long day at the office. For example 26. ... Rxf1 27. Rxf1 Bf6 28. Nc7+  Kd7 29. Nxa6 Nxa6 30. Rxf6 Nc7 31. Rxf7+ Kd6 32. cxb5 Nxb5 33. Kg1 looks unpleasant to defend. Definitely not a position you should aim for from the opening.  Moreover I really did not look into 22. Qe3 Qd2 23. Qg3 Nd7 24. Nxf7 O-O 25. Bh5 Rd3 26. Qh4 it might be that White's attack is too much for Black.
