In this sharp variation White follows up with h4-h5 and then he must not be afraid to offer an on h5. There is no proof of any direct opening advantage according to Michal Krasenkow, but Black is faced with a difficult defensive task. If Black wants to avoid the above variation, but nevertheless still aims for the Leningrad System, there is always the changing of move order with 3. d6. Boris Schipkov then examines 4.Bg5, which brings to the board independent variations – where the theory is as yet under-developed. Szabo: Sicilian B85 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Be2 e6 7.0-0 Be7 8.f4 0-0 9.Be3 Nc6 10.a4 Qc7 11.¢h1 Re8 12.Bf3 Bd7 13.Nb3. With 12. Bd7 Black is aiming for . Nxd4 and . Bc6, but the white avoids . The theory then goes far into the middlegame. Krisztian Szabo shows in his article that Black can hardly count on equality. Schandorff: Sicilian B97 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Bg5 e6 7.f4 Qb6 8.Qd2 Qxb6 9.Rb1 Qa3 10.e5 h6. Development in the Poisoned Variation is driven above all by computer games. So, for his article Lars Schandorff has to great extent turned to the Najdorf Powerbook 2013 and come to some remarkable conclusions. Karolyi: C80 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Nxe4 6.d4 b5 7.Bb3 d5 8.dxe5 Be6 9.Nbd2 Bc5. The move 9. Bc5 is actually only the third choice (after 9. Be7 and 9. Nc5), but Tibor Karolyi proves with his extensive analyses that Black can count on good chances of equality. People still avoid the Marshall Attack. One quite popular variation is the one with 8.a4 b4 and then either 9.d3 or 9.d4. According to Igor Stohl White does not obtain an advantage with it, but over the board he gets playable positions. Variations with h4 are fashionable, so why not against the Grünfeld Defence? All the relevant games are from 2013. Evgeny Postny shows in his article that Black gets decent play after both 5. c6 and also 5. dxc4. Of course the Closed Variation (5.e3) is not an attempt to refute the Grünfeld Defence, it is more about enticing Black into unknown territory. Contrary to the trend Andrey Sumets considers that from the diagram the reply 7. Nxc3 is the safest. In the second part of his series on the Tango Petar Arnaudov looks into the reply 4.g3, after which Black can only transpose to another opening. Our author pleads in favour of 4. d5 5.Bg2 dxc4, when a popular but easy to learn variation of the Catalan is on the board. gave an impetus to this variation when he played 11.Qc2 (instead of the usual 11.Qa4) against in the and obtained an advantage. Max Illingworth has examined both moves in depth and can refer to numerous contemporary games. In recent years Black has obtained good results with the variation after 6. d5. But the setup with 9.h4 could turn out to be dangerous. Dejan Antic shows that 9. h6 is practically refuted; after 9. g6 there are certainly a lot of discoveries waiting to be made. Mihail Marin presents detailed analysis of a variation which has recently somewhat gone out of fashion. But things do not have to remain like that. According to our author White’s resources are not yet exhausted. Free opening survey - download a sample! Free opening survey. Michal Krasenkow: "No compromises" (Dutch A85: 1.d4 f5 2.c4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.h4) GM Michal Krasenkow from Poland presents a sharp weapon against the . After 1.d4 f5 2.c4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 White immediately attacks the black setup with 4.h4 . The most common reply now is 4. Bg7 but that is exactly where Black starts to go wrong! In his new article Krasenkow shows you how White can cause the black king big troubles ater the almost forced moves 5.h5 Nxh5 6.e4! fxe4 7.Rxh5! The better choice is 4. d6 , but also here White will the exchange after 5.h5 Nxh5 6.Rxh5 with at least good practical chances. ChessBase magazine.

Practical Chess Strategy: The Bishop. When it comes to strategy, one of the key things that chess professionals understand much better than amateur players is the role of the bishop which is the key theme on this video course. ChessBase Magazine #159. Review by Sean Marsh. The tournaments at Zurich and Wijk aan Zee featured numerous top players. Indeed, the World Champion himself – Magnus Carlsen – made a rare post-title winning appearance at Zurich. He won the tournament (a double round-robin, half classical limit and half blitz) but should definitely have lost to Nakamura in the first cycle. Danny King presents excellent video coverage of the 'game of the round' for the two aforementioned tournaments and his analysis of the key games is typically insightful. Nakamura, in time-trouble, played 37.d6? here but lost after 37. Nxd6 38.Nxd6 Rd8 39.Nc4? (39.Nc8! is better) and after 39. Qxe4 White's king is in too much trouble (0-1, 62). Danny analyses the far superior alternative 37 Qf1! attacking the stray knight and leading to some beautiful lines after 37. b5 38.Rxh7!! when it is relatively simple to see what happens after either 38. Kxh7 or 38. Qxh7. It's good to spend time playing through expert analysis of top games. 'Live' commentary on the Internet is all very well, but a considered approach reveals far more secrets and creates a more lasting impression. Incidentally, Aronian was on great form at Zurich (sharing second with Caruana) and Wijk aan Zee (clear first, by a remarkable 1.5 point margin) and consequently went into the subsequent Candidates tournament as the favourite in the eyes of many chess fans. Yet somehow his form deserted him. No doubt we will get the full story on CBM 160. The eye-catching performance in the second tier at Wijk aan Zee was that of the popular veteran and former title challenger . He eventually shared second place in the tournament after many adventures. Indeed, he could have added to his impressive score if he had taken all of his chances. Stohl's excellent annotations to this key game show how Timman could have clinched a well-earned victory here. White played 74.g5? ''White was winning for more than 20 moves, with many different options to clinch his victory. However, the text move is a serious error, which will cost him half a point.'' He gives 74.Rh6 Bf4 75.Rhg6 a5 76.g5 and 74.Kf3 a5 75.Rh6 a4 76.g5 a3 77.Ra7 a2 78.Rxa2 Rxh7 79.Ra6 as both winning for White. In the game, Jobava played 74. Nd5 and drew after 80 moves. Of the opening surveys, the two I enjoyed most were Moskalenko's on the Budapest (he even shows a key improvement on Spassky vs. Illescas (Linares, 1990) that seems to turn the evaluation on its head) and Marin on an underrated variation of the French Winawer ( 4.e5 b6 ). Black may have to put up with some funny looks after both 5.a3 Bf8 and 5.Qg4 Bf8 , but Marin weighs up the pros and cons - highlighting the deficiencies of the two White tries - before providing a strong case for the Black side of the board. Games by Korchnoi and Petrosian are used as model examples of Winawer power. For further details regarding CBM 159, please head for the relevant ChessBase product page.
