A funny trend in Bogo Indian is that on both Martins Chessbase DVD and Lemos Crusshing white DVD they both recommend c5 vs Bd2 and if we assume that the book this thread is about recommends a5 I would appear Qe7 is suddenly out of fashion for book and dvs makers, unclear why.

8.c5 is interesting move but rarely played. Here, after  8...Nc6 9.a3 (after 9.0-0 d6 10.cxd6 cxd6 11.Rc1 Bd7 12.Re1 Bxc3 13.Bxc3 Ne4 14.e3 Rac8=) is White´s idea after ...Bxc3 to leave ...Na5 misplaced 9...Bxc3 10.Bxc3 d6 White is slightly better, but it is possible for Black with careful moves to neutralize White´s pressure. For example, 11.cxd6 (11.b4 is the other move) cxd6 12.0-0 Bd7 13.Rc1 (13.Qd3 is possible) 13...Rac8 14.Qd3 Nd5 15.e4 Nxc3 16.Rxc3 d5 17.Ne5 dxe4 18.Bxe4 g6 19.Rfc1 Rfd8 20.Nxc6 Bxc6 21.Bxc6 Rxc6 22.Rxc6 bxc6 23.Rxc6 Qd7 24.Rc4 Qxd4 25.Qxd4 Rxd4 26.Rc7 a5=

that depends of course on what you want to play after 7.Bg2, I don't immediately see a good alternative for the main line, 7...Na5 has scored well but 8.c5 seems strong

In the line 4.Bd2 Qe7 5.g3 Nc6 6.Nc3, is there any problem with 6...0-0 insted of 6...Bxc3 7.Bxc3 Ne4 8.Rc1 wich is extremely theoretical and dificult for Black?

He should stop playing all that Blitz online.


...and finish his e5 rep on Youtube. He has to at least do the Evans.

I am confident that the expexted release date (November 2013) is still doable though a slight delay might be necessary. As it is my first book, I may be wrong in estimating the time needed to polish up things. The "meat and bones" of the book is close to being finished.

And yes, 4... Bxd2+ is just ultra solid for Black. I think this is line is similarly annoying for white as the Lasker QGD.

I am interested to see what this book offers. I have gravitated from the Nimzo/Bogo towards the Slav recently since I find it easier to win against the exchange Slav that in the Bogo against a White opponent who is happy with a draw.

I had an unpleasant task defending this position with Black against Husák, Dr. Ján in an ICCF tournament recently (i guess you can find this game in the ICCF database). So, i am not enthusiastic for this position for Black (i think that White is certainly better) , but i am open for someone to change my mind!  Smiley

Isn't it a5, then d6 and e5? That's what he usually plays online.

But ...Bxd2 and ...d5 is not a "dark-square" repertoire. So Chessexplained has something else in mind for his book? I am eager to know!  Smiley

The apparantly unpromising 4...Bxd2 is proving to be very reliable in FIDE 2700 level games. Kramnik has lost another game as white in the Tal memorial, to go with one lost year or so back to Carlson. The game was annotated in recent "New in chess". His opponent was quite impressed with the novelty of Qa3 going into endgame of the game, but any advantage for white seems minimal. Their is quite good coverage of line in Eingorn's book "An rock solid opening repetetoire".

4...a5 5.a3! (As Kaufman recommended) is quite annoying for Black. I have a corr game with Black in this one and i am barely holding. In a practical game i'd have lost with hands down...

4...c5 is a nice choice, although 5.Bxb4 followed by 6.e3! with the idea Be2 and Ne1-Nd3 and i think that White has a small but definite edge. Theoretically other lines for Black are more critical, but if White with such a simple way can claim a small edge i wouldn't be happy with Black at all.

4...Bxd2 is also slightly better for White. So, in my eyes, if 4...Qe7 is not acceptable, then Black cannot equalise in the Bogo.


I've never quite felt that Black could equalize in the Bogo, but I'd love to be wrong, as it would be a very easy solution to the 3.Nf3 problem for Nimzo players (the other being 3...c5 I guess, but the Benoni isn't as easy).  I don't have Khalifman, though--is 4...a5 5.a3 Bxd2+ any better for White than the immediate 4...Bxd2+?  I wouldn't think so, though that doesn't mean that White can't still claim an edge.  I'll have to do a little more research as I've neglected looking at 5.a3 so far.
