Has anyone checked if the chessable course of GM S.P,Sethuraman
https://www.chessable.com/the-thrilling-jaenisch-gambit/course/55944/
is a useful resource adding to the formerly published stuff?


Just looking at it and noticed this: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5 4.d4 fxe4 5.Nxe5 Nxe5 6.dxe5 c6 7.Nc3 cxb5 8.Nxe4 d5 9.exd6 Nf6 10.Bg5 Qa5+ 11.Nc3 b4 12.Bxf6 and now 12...Qf5!.

Ah, that's just brilliant. I've never even considered that move. And nor it seems has anyone else.

Not so convinced by 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5 4.d3 fxe4 5.dxe4 Nf6 6.0-0 d6 7.Bc4 Bg4 8.h3 Bh5 9.Nc3 Be7 and 10.g4 Bg6 11.Ng5 Nd4 12.f4 c6 13.f5 h6 14.fxg6 hxg5 15.Bf7+ Kd7 16.Kg2 Kc7, which Stockfish answers with 17.Ne2, but it may be playable.

Some interesting stuff there anyway Smiley

I am curious as well.

Sadly he does not go for 4.Nc3 dxe4 5.Nxe4 d5!?? which is admittedly worse than 5..Nf6 but at least avoids the endings.

There is also a "short and sweet" free course available which makes a good impression but does not cover 4.Nc3 with 7.Qe2..   ...

I have the book, Tay is a good analyst and seems to be very objective. I think the Schlieman would be great for a club player, and that you could probably spring it on titled players with some success. Again Tay is honest that there are some problems in some lines, but the book is well written and was mostly current when it was published.

I'm sure there is more than one Jaenisch player here, perhaps one of them will weigh in. In the meantime there is a review at chesscafe which may help you decide.

Updates on what? Junior Tay's book came out last year, if that's what you meant?


Would anyone mind to share your thoughts or review on this book?   Would it be a good book for a club player just learning the Schliemann/jaenisch?

Appreciate your time.

Everyman's new series "Disreputable Weapons" should sell well. I would buy the Open Games volume.


I guess I should hurry up and finish it then Smiley

My main issue is in what to play against 4 Ng5 in the Two Knights. I'm currently struggling as Black in a couple of online Traxler games, so it might depend on how I do in an ongoing Ulvestad thematic.

Well, at least point us in the right direction for the Scotch, Spanish Four Knights, and Vienna (Steinitz, Rubinstein, and Frankenstein-Dracula, perhaps).


It's a book on disreputable openings so, as regards those particular variations, look to:
Scotch 4...Qh4
Three Knights 3...Bc5
Vienna 2...Nc6 without ...Nf6

Yes, I'm still working on it. You can expect it in about 17 years probably Huh

Well, maybe not so long, but I've only finished one chapter so far: on 1 e4 e5 2 f4 exf4 3 Nf3 h5.

There were two books about Jänisch Ruy López that I bought few years ago I think. I cannot even remember when. But I know that author's name was Roman and surname was long and startte with "J". I cannot even remember where I bought her. Then I realise that it were those books mentioned above.  Cheesy

It was one book theory one book ideas, I remember quite small books. I think that it would be good to complement with Tay's Everyman book.

I read your above comment to imply that you were working on aggressive ways (as with the Jaenisch) to meet the quieter, non-Spanish lines. I was curious about those lines (I know that you're a major proponent of the Traxler).

I always wondered how to combine an aggressive, tactical style with the Jänisch in combination with the strategic openings like the Giuoco Pianissimo or Four Knights should White be a non Ruy Lopez player.


Actually, I'm working on something about that at the moment Smiley
