I searched the forum without success, but maybe I'm doing something wrong

I put "3.Bg5 Seirawan" in the site search box and turned up these two:

In the top one kylemeister wrote `this was the second instance of "what should I play against 3. Bg5?" in the last couple of weeks`, so I went to the Nimzo and Benonis board. I don't know a way to sort by Started (date), so I put "2013" in the browser find box ( ctrl+f ), eventually found this one on page 4.

Palliser also mentions that this line, which he calls the Neo-Indian or Seirawan Attack, is featured in one of the SoS columns by Jereon Bosch in New in Chess magazine. Unfortunately I haven't been able to track down the specific issue.

I don't know about the magazine, but it's in the 2003 book SOS volume 1, chapter 5, pages 48-56. One of the games quoted is Avrukh (!) - Gulko, Istanbul ol 2000.

There's a bit of coverage of this line on the ChessPublishing site. In the July 2006 Nimzo/Benoni update, Richard Palliser (filling in for John Emms) annotates the game Tom Piceu-John Van der Wiel, Dutch League 2005. In his notes, Palliser addresses the following responses: 3...h6, 3...d5, 3...Bb4+, and 3...c5. He also notes that Piceu is the "current leading exponent of the line", but that was about twenty years ago. A glance at the database shows that Grischuk and Erigasi have been employing it frequently, albeit mostly in blitz.

Palliser also mentions that this line, which he calls the Neo-Indian or Seirawan Attack, is featured in one of the SoS columns by Jereon Bosch in New in Chess magazine. Unfortunately I haven't been able to track down the specific issue.

Edit: I just watched Boris Avrukh's YouTube video on his Bogo-Indian repertoire for Black. At about 8:45 he talks briefly about the Seirawan Attack, indicating his recommendation is 3...h6. Getting his full analysis would involve purchasing his database, which is $34 or $50 depending on the option selected.

There's this, from Modern Chess:
https://www.modern-chess.com/the-unexplored-1d4-nf6-2c4-e6-3bg5-606.

I haven't seen the contents (other than the summary on the website) so I can't offer an opinion. As usual with Modern Chess, wait for the next sale...

I searched the forum without success, but maybe I'm doing something wrong.  In any case, I would like to know of material,online or printed, on this 1.d4 sideline.

Thanks in advance  Smiley
