Goncharov, corr. Bxc3 20 Nxe6 fxe6 21 Rc1 gives Black problems on the c-file. Qc5 is extremely limited; then 16 Nd4!? Qxc3 18 Qxc3 Bxc3 19 Rc1 and now: d21 Rc8 22 Bf4 h6 23 Ba6 23 Bb5 Nb4!? Bd5 22 Bd6 intending Bc5 Be4 23 Nxd4 23 Bc5?! Bb2 Bxd4 24 exd4 Nxd4 25 Bf1 the bishop-pair should prove useful. Nxd4 17 exd4 b6 Ivanov-Pavlikov, corr.
Sokolov to be slightly better for White Black has held after Meier, European Ch, Budva Nh5 B Bb7 15 Ne4 Qb6 16 Nfg5 spot the threat! B21 Nh5 This natural move leads to highly thematic play.
Gupta-Kjartansson, Reykjavik Rd8 Instead: a Bf6 16 Ne4!? Qb6 after Ra6 Nd8 26 Nd2! This game is a great advertisement for this opening line: in a game between two super-GMs, White scores a smashing victory without needing to do anything too fancy or even take significant risks. Stohl analysed The text-move was proposed by Shipov, and may be an objectively better try.
Qc8 Alternatively: a Kxf7 20 f5 gives White a decisive attack. Rxd7 22 Ncxe6 Qh6 23 Kg2! It does appear to be the critical line. This is probably best, but gives White several tempting ideas. Nd8 with 20 Qe2 Bc6 Or: a 20 Qe4 b5 21 Ba2 b4 22 axb4 Rb8 gives Black more counterplay.
Qc5 26 Qd2 26 Qc3!? Bxc4 27 b4 27 Rxc4 Qe5 Qf8 28 Rxc4 or Bxc4 26 Rxc4 Qd8 Qf8 27 Rc7 27 h6. Now: a Bd7 can be met by 22 h5 or 22 f5!?. Kg7 22 h5 22 f5?! B22 Bxf3 15 gxf3 Rad8 Rac8 16 Nd5 transposes to Qc7 17 Bd3 17 Rc1 Be6 18 Rc5!? White to play 16 Ng5! Mikhalevski, Pardubice Rxf7 Rasmussen-Rendboe, Danish Ch, Silkeborg Kg7 Vetter, corr.
Be7 In this chapter we focus on a number of alternatives to the traditional QGD move Notable among these are the Semi-Tarrasch Nf6 transposes to the Ragozin. Instead, Bb4 is the Ragozin, which has a chapter to itself. There are several good options here, but no reason to abandon 5 Bf4. White to play 5 cxd5 5 c5 should be compared with similar lines we looked at after Be7 5 Bf4 Bd6 is a favourable form of Exchange QGD with pretty much an extra tempo if White plays in the centre rather than going for a traditional minority attack; e.
Nbd7 and Now a popular recommendation is 5 cxd5 exd5 6 Bf4, but this reaches a form of Exchange Variation that is not so troublesome for Black, and where the ideas are quite well-known. After Nh5, while 7 h3 Ne4!?
D Black to play Nbd7 with 5 Bf4, but the key strategic idea — that of allowing an exchange on f4 and recapturing with the e-pawn — is nothing new. Other ideas: a For Qa5 Black goes for a Cambridge Springs set-up, but with the white bishop on f4 instead of g5, it has far less bite; after Nh5 7 Bg3 Nxg3 8 hxg3 gives White a half-open h-file on which to create kingside pressure; Qb4 can be met by 8 Qc2 dxc4 9 a3 Qb3 10 Qc1 Bb4 8 Qc2 8 Rc1!?
Kogan-Haba, Zlin Bb4 is one of two serious independent lines after 5 Bf4. It has ideas in common with the Ragozin. N7f6 8 Qc2 White to play 10 bxc3! Qxc5 Ne4 Nf6 19 e4 dxe4 20 fxe4 would have given Black great difficulties.
Nb6 Or: a Nd5 7 Bxc4 Nxf4 8 exf4 and now: b1 Dautov gives Bd6 9 g3 D. Black to play This position occurred in the early 20th century in games by Janowski, Tartakower, Capablanca and Botvinnik and then vanished from practice for decades. Bb4 15 Ne4 Qd5? Qf5 22 Qb7 Rab8 23 Qf3?! Ragozin, Leningrad Ch Bb4 Be7 12 Nxd5 Nxd5? Be7 11 12 Ne5 Qd6 13 Re1 g6 Qc7 Nxf4 11 exf4 Be7 Qb6 intending Rfd8 and Be8; this is of course rather passive 14 Ne5 14 Re3!?
Rd8 18 Rh3 c5? Bxf4 Bc6 11 Ne5 Bxe5 12 Bxe5 However, finding a way to break through will not be easy; one long-term idea would be to relocate the king to the queenside and advance the kingside pawns as Dautov suggests , but the timing and execution will need to be precise.
One plan for Black is Nd5 followed by Be8-f7, but it is hard to implement this without White being able to exploit some weak light squares or the pawns on them; e. Be8 15 Rac1 f6 16 Nd3 b6 17 f5! Re8 17 Rac1 Qc8 18 h4 with an interesting struggle in prospect. However, the fact that at this point Black has played Nf6 rather than Nc6 gives White the useful extra option 6 Bg5 D.
Be7 7 dxc5 Be6 8 e3 9 Be2 Nbd7 Brown, London Nxd5 One basic idea is to capture more space by e5, setting up a standard position in which White can play Bf4 and Rac1, of course, but also put pressure on a castled king via Bd3, Qe4, h4 and the like.
Nxd5 D : White to play 6 g3 This leads to quite subtle positions where the plans for both sides are less clearly defined, and the play less forcing, than in the main lines following 6 e4 Nxc3 7 bxc3. Nc6 Or: a Qxd4 9 Nxd4 D offers White an edge due to the long-diagonal pressure: Black to play a21 Nd7 13 Bc3 allows 13 Rxc8 Rxc8 14 Bxb7.
White to play In practice, it tends to lead to endings where White has whatever slight chances there are, thanks to his space advantage. Rac8 Rhc8 16 Rhd1 f6, with Black should surely be able to hold this ending, but White won in both games cited.
Nxc3 7 bxc3 D and then: Black to play b1 Nc6 Nd7 11 a4!? Qa5 10 Bg2 Nc6 11 Rb1 11 e3!? Bc6 is a logical set-up that has proven solid in practice so far. White could try 11 Ne5 Nc6 12 Nc4; e. Be7 Or: a Bd6 12 Rb8 13 e4! Bb7 15 Rac1 Kd7 16 d5! Bd7 16 f4 with a slight edge, V. Sakovich, Pardubice Bxb4 Black must then tread very carefully, but White retains dangerous compensation in any case: b1 Bxd4 12 Nb5 12 Qh5. Qxd1 12 Rxd1 Nd5 returning the pawn looks wise here 13 Nxd5 13 Nb5!?
Nc6 15 b4 Qf5 16 b5 Kramnik-Topalov, Linares Ne5 or Qc7 16 Rac1 Bd7?! Qb8 21 Nc5. It can be reached by an enormous variety of move-orders.
There is also the practical factor that they may have prepared this line for use via an English Opening move-order, and have decided to save time and effort by using it from the Semi- Tarrasch move-order too. Bf6 There are several other moves: a Black should play Bxe6 Nb6 13 Qb3 e5 14 Rd1 also favours White 13 bxc3 D.
Now: e1 Qa5 14 Rd1! Qxc3 Be7 16 Bf4 leaves Black in considerable danger. Qa5 10 Bd2! Qa6 13 dxc5 and then: f11 Not Rd8 14 Qc2 Qb5 15 Qb2 f6 16 b4 a5 17 bxa5 Qxb2 Qa3 probably best 14 Nd4 14 Qc2 Qxc5 15 b4 Qb5 Qxc5 15 Nxc6 bxc6 16 Qc2 gives White enough compensation for the pawn, but maybe no more than that.
Rd8 Bd7 15 Nxc6 15 Rfc1!? Qb5 can be met by 19 Qg4. Bf6 D : White to play 10 Nxd5 Maybe not best, in view of the recapture with the pawn. After 10 dxc5!? Qxd5 11 dxc5 11 Be3!? Qxa2 12 Bg5! Bd7 13 Be3 Qe7 14 Qe4! Qe7 or Bg4 14 Qxd5 14 Nd3 Qxe2 It has a long history, and has always enjoyed the support of some high-level players, and is seen now and then in top-level practice nowadays. In our repertoire, it can arise via the following move-order: 1 d4 d5 2 Nf3 Nf6 3 c4 e6 4 Nc3 Bb4 D White to play 5 Qb3 This direct move is my recommendation, rather than the main lines with 5 cxd5 exd5 6 Bg5, which have been worked out in considerable detail.
Bd7 7 Nxd7 Qxd7 or Now: A: Nc6 B: It looks a little odd for Black to put his knight voluntarily on c6, given that White sometimes plays his queen to a worse square a4 in order to force this move. Na5 10 Nd2 h6 11 Bh4!? Qxg5 9 Qa3 9 Nxd5 Nfxd5 Nbxd5 10 Rc1; Nxd4 shows one point behind Black putting his knight on c6. Re8 Nb4 12 Qb3 Bf5!? Be6 Re8 11 Be2 g5?! Bxc3 13 bxc3 Bxa2 is unclear, J.
Horvath-Bokros, Budapest The text-move Bd6 11 Bb5 11 Ne4 Qe7 12 Qc3 also maintains pressure Rfc8 Nc6 8 Bg5 Be6 9 , when 10 e4 is met by He might start with 11 b4, as Black lacks dark-square control. Nxe5 11 exd4 Bxd4 12 Nb5 or Qa5 is a move-order recently used by Leko and Aleksandrov.
White to play There are now two move-orders to consider: c1 9 Rc1 and now: c11 Nxb4 12 axb4 Bxb4 13 Bd2 Rc8 leaves White fatally pinned Bxc5 11 e3 offers White a slight edge, but the position is somewhat sterile. Be6 13 e3 invites the sacrifice Qxc5 11 Qh4 Ke7 Bxc5 11 e3 Bd7 Rc8 13 Qh4 Be7 14 Bg2 Qb6 Qe7 Be6 Or Bh3 Rad8 Qg6 17 Nh4 17 Nd4 and Black is running out of ideas and compensation since f3 or f4 easily defends g2.
White to play Here Krasenkow indicates 15 Rb1! In modern chess, faster time controls have become more important than ever. Every day, countless numbers of rated blitz and rapid games are being played in online and over-the-board competitions and championships. In blitz chess it is important to make the right decisions quickly and almost instinctively. That is why world-famous opening expert Grandmaster Evgeny Sveshnikov and his son, International Master Vladimir Sveshnikov, have created an opening repertoire for club players that is forcing, both narrow and deep, and aggressive.
The aim is to be in control as much as possible. You want to be the one who decides which opening is going to be played, you want to dictate the strategical and technical choices. If you play the lines the Sveshnikovs have selected, you will not end up in positions where finding the theoretically best move is all-important, but in positions where it is relatively easy to spot the moves with the greatest practical effect. Ever wanted a complete chess opening repertoire - for White and Black - whose basics can be learned in a week?
A strategic low-maintenance repertoire that does not require memorizing of long variations, and yet can frustrate both stronger and weaker opponents? In this book, award-winning author Graham Burgess has come up with the ultimate simplified repertoire.
But it is not based on boring or unambitious openings. The aim is to avoid symmetry and mass exchanges, and reach an unbalanced middlegame. You won't be dumped into do-or-die tactics where the penalty for forgetting a key move is an instant loss. There are plenty of sharp and aggressive ideas within these pages, but the openings chosen provide a firm and sound base for experimentation.
If you forget the critical line and have to make something up at the board, then if you have understood the key strategic themes - which are explained with the use of mini-rules and reminders - then you should get a playable game. As White it is the English Opening, often with Botvinnik set-ups that will give our opponents fits!
These will become your special lines, where you will know and understand more than most players, even much stronger ones. Graham Burgess has written 28 chess books, including three on opening play for the 'Chess for Kids' series. He is a FIDE Master and a former champion of the Danish region of Funen, and in set a world record for marathon blitz chess playing. Introduces readers to the names and starting moves of the main chess openings, while highlighting several devastating opening traps.

Why is this repertoire called simple? For the simple reason that the variations are straightforward, easy to remember and require little or no maintenance. International Master Christof Sielecki has created a reliable set of lines for chess players of almost all levels. To show the typical plans and the underlying ideas in the various lines of his repertoire, Moret not only selected games of Grandmasters.
He also uses games of young, improving players to highlight the errors they tend to make.

Specific main lines and side-variations are given to combat Black's possible choices of the King's, Queen's and Bogoljubow-Indian defences as well as the modern Benoni and Benko Gambit.
The author also recommends promising methods against the various Black defences to the Queen's Gambit as well as a number of offbeat lines. A practical opening guide for competitive players who prefer to build their games on solid foundations rather than indulge in risky speculation.

Master the art of provoking errors and you will be able to turn the tables and escape with a draw — or sometimes even steal the full point!
Swindling is a skill that can be trained. In a lost position, your best practical chance often lies not in what the computer recommends, but in playing your opponent.
