Introduction - Enhancements Houdini Hippo's

Carlsen “Self-confidence is very important. If you don’t think you can win, you will take cowardly decisions in the crucial moments, out of sheer respect for your opponent. You see the opportunity but also greater limitations than you should. I have always believed in what I do on the chessboard, even when I had no objective reason to. It is better to overestimate your prospects than underestimate them.”

This book is very diagram intensive and is done so intentionaly. I am presenting a Dendrite Chess Publishing approach which is to have diagrams at nearly every game at moves 4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20 each is a Sniper target position which we would be happy with and it is also Black to play with the Black move that is about to be played on the board, given just before each diagram this is deliberately to also train your visualisation power rather than have a lazy look at the board. (There are a few exceptions and these are singled out with the phrase Relax it is White to play – when just like a traditional book it is actuallyWhite to play.

'The Sniper Reloaded 2014' will bring some powerful new bullets to The Sniper practitioners arsenal. This book will enhance on the earlier work The Sniper [Everyman Chess 2009] The Bullets will be in the form of Good Sniper Hippos with an explanation of a new concept called Unicorns and how to avoid Bad Hippo's . The Sniper 'Horsemen of The White Apocalypse' will be introduced. The Sniper Reloaded will strive to play ...c5 only when it is good. The Double Sniper involving ...b6 and ...Bb7 will feature sometimes without a Hippo. The biggest feature is that The Sniper Reloaded Dendrite will be introduced which is also the name of my new chess publishing company this will be introduced half way through the book - this is to encourage you to purchase it! This repertoire is the best way to play for a win with Black - Everybody will be in fear of your Sniper and it will be very very hard for White to gain a computer preparation advantage against you as many of the lines are just too messy and complex for the computer analysis to aid them in any direct and meaningful way as it will be all about the play in complex Sniperesque middle game play. - The Sniper has reloaded for 2014. Complete your Sniper Mastery with this book and consider taking The Fide Master Training Syllabus that I offer which includes all Sniper Products on 1 x USB External 500GB Hard drive and lots of 1–1 Skype chess lessons with direct guidance from me – Charlie Storey.

5.h4 The Sources say White is half a Pawn up here - The sources may be correct however as there are no pieces or Pawns exchanged I put it to The Sniper student that this is the best way to play for a win with Black as the complexity will make even the strongest Grandmaster uncomfortable - An additional bonus for a Sniper Hippo is that nearly every chess player in the world has limited experience on Hippo playing - let the one eyed man be King. 5...h6 6.¥c4 e6

7.¥b3 ¤e7; 3.¤f3 c5 Of all the efforts to play 3...c5 to create a Pure Sniper this is the one I would say is least best simply as I believe with computer preparation White can obtain at least a small advantage and worse Black is without sufficient counter play so part of The Sniper Reloaded will bring solutions to Black's problem which are extremely effective either on a Quantum Theory Level and if that is not possible then from a Quantum Praxis level- these terms will be explained later. (3...b6 Again The engines say a half Pawn up but praxis is more important than a mere half Pawn - Understanding The Hippo is worth 2 Pawns - That makes the Hippo practically decisive Black unless White is very well versed in Sniper Hippos. Let me define a Sniper Hippo as when White has handicapped the c2 Pawn or f2 Pawn from participating in central or wing attacks by developing the Knight there. The Point is once White has reached zenith opening development he will have to use 1 or 2 tempi to let these middle game influencers develop - further the Knights will be posted back to an inferior position - Black may well be ready to be 1.2.3 or even 4 tempi up in an early middlegame - with all pieced remaining on the board.) ]

A very important Target position for Black - This is a Key Target Sniper Hippo position - White has a small space advantage but any attempt to attack Black will result in tremendously complex counter play.]

11...e5 [Black Blocks the centre and negates any superior development that White may have had in a A Sniper Hippo. Recall that the Sniper Hippo involves a White Pawn at c2 or f2 that is restricted from action due to a Knight having developed there - we can use this at the end of the opening to stop any fast Hippo attack based on the Pawn coming quickly to f5 which can refute many hippos. Thus when the Knight is on f3 the Hippo should be immediately on any Sniper practitioners radar.]

12.¤e1 [This Knight which was active on f3 has realised it has to go backwards if the White team is to go forwards. It could now be argued that 'The Sniper Hippo' now has a development advantage.]

As can be seen from the few sample Hippos on the previous move it would be hard for anyone to have a good standard of theory either as White or Black on The Hippo so my approach will be to offer key themes and guidelines on the Hippo and this will stand the student in a good situation in the Hippo even if White has a tiny Quantum advantage - The Praxis and experience of a Sniper Hippo player will negate any such advantage. I will examine The Sniper Hippos in the Chapter 8 GM Games section in considerable detail.]

As can be seen from the few sample Hippos on the previous move it would be hard for anyone to have a good standard of theory either as White or Black on The Hippo so my approach will be to offer key themes and guidelines on the Hippo and this will stand the student in a good situation in the Hippo even if White has a tiny Quantum advantage - The Praxis and experience of a Sniper Hippo player will negate any such advantage. 404

Dendrite Introduction

Fischer “There are tough players and nice guys, and I'm a tough player.”

A Dendrite is a tree like structure in neuro chemistry it grasps on to things and grows to become larger and stronger. I use Dendrite to refer to the Sniper Reloaded Reccomended opening moves. It is worthy of The Dendrite title because the moves are of such high quality as of 2014 - This is so as all moves have been checked with current state of the art engines, advanced opening books and distilled experienced Master understanding. The Dendrite is a fusion of Quantum Theory and Best Praxis it is extremely hard to acheive with Black but somewhat easier to create a Dendrite with White.]

Chapter 1 Advanced Dendrite - 1.e4 Style : Main Lines

Fischer “You can only get good at Chess if you love the game.”

Let me define 'Quantum Best' in the chess context as the Best known chess move based on all available chess and computer knowledge. Let me define 'Praxis Best' as most likely the best possible move or something that is so hard to dis prove that it is not the practically best move / plan available. My experience has told me that The best Praxis move (bearing in mind human ability) is often better than playing the 'Best Quantum' move as quite simply Human beings can not follow up with the constant Quantum moves that are available to justify the initial Best Quantum move. The Black Sniper will use a mixture of best Praxis as well as Best Quantum in many of it is lines.

1.e4 g6 2.d4 ¥g7 [The Sniper Reloaded will focus on the best move from this position and only play for ...c5 when it is either Quantum best or Praxis best. If two lines sre of similar merit bias will be given to ...c5 plans.]

3.¤c3 [3.¤f3 I have promoted this move to the absoloute main line over 3 Nc3 as it makes it easier to present the material. 3...b6! The Quantum best move for Black. Aiming for a Hippo which is a better version of normal Hippo as White has placed his Knight on f3 thus obstructing the f2 Pawn's contribution. (3...c5 4.d5!? This position should never be allowed via this move order as White would have the option 4dxc5 winning for White. This position which would come about via 1.d4 c5 mover order is a Key battle ground in The Sniper - White has a Quantum small advantage Black has a Practical chances small advantage - which is better? It is like a Glenn Flear vs Mihai Tal match in my view - controlling small space vs great potential dynamics.

Overview White Hippo Wins - What to avoid in Sniper Hippo

Fischer “Staunton was the most profound opening analyst of all time. He was more theorist than player, but nonetheless he was the strongest player of his day. Playing over his games, I discover that they are completely modern; where Morphy and Steinitz rejected the fianchetto, Staunton embraced it. In addition, he understood all of the positional concepts which modern players hold so dear, and thus - with Steinitz - must be considered the first modern player.”

Overview of Sniper Hippo Wins - What to PLAY in Sniper Hippo

Fischer “Alekhine is a player I've never really understood. He always wanted a superior centre; he manoeuvred his pieces toward the kingside, and around the 25th move, began to mate his opponent. He disliked exchanges, preferring to play with many pieces on the board. His play was fantastically complicated, more so than any player before or since.”

Conclusion

The Sniper is an excellent way to play for a win with Black, be it with a Sniper Hippo a Double Sniper, with The Horsemen of The Apocalpse or with some of the traditional Sniper lines from the first Sniper book. On a Quantim Chess level White may have a small edge but White cannot sidestep an eventual battle that is so complex in the middle game that this negates human advantage (this can not be said of many other openings where a win is required with Black) – I have no doubt a top computer engine could prove it could beat the variations here, but likewise, if a computer was to take Black against a Human similar wins for Black would occur. Heading for Bermuda Triangles is a great approach against 1.d4 style and Sniper practitioners should always be mindful of Pawn to a5 preventing b4 expansion.

The Sniper is a great framework but The Sniper Reloaded 2014 gives you more streamlined variations that will maximise your opportunities to win with Black –especially if that is what you neede in a final round the Holy Grail which is win with Black.

Memorise The Advanced Dendrites and you will have more than Unicorns to help you – You will have an incredible option to play genuinely for a win with Black or as the great Bobby Fischer put it

“The turning point in my career came with the realization that Black should play to win instead of just steering for equality.”

I wish you fun and critical victories with The Sniper Reloaded 2014
