Dec-20-03    CapablancaRules: Do you guys know anything about the Dresden Variation of the English? Dec-21-03    Chessical: <CapablancaRules> I believe that it is 1.c4 c5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.e4 Nc6 4.f4 d6 5.Nf3 - see Opening Explorer Aug-03-04    e4Newman: On the Capablanca variation with k-side fianchetto 4.d3 d5 5.cxd5 Nxd5 6.g3 Be6 7.Bg2 allows 7...Bb4! which puts white on the defensive. I am reminded that 6.a3 may appear to lose a tempo but prevents this worse fate. The only sound reply I found is 8.Bd2, not exactly where I want that bishop. 8.Qc2 a la Nimzo-Indian complicates things with 8...Nd4 9.Nxd4 exd4 and the other knight is gone. 8...Qb3 meets with similar results and worse, the queen is now on the diagonal with black's QB. Oct-03-07    piever: What about Nimzowitsch's "special variation" 4 e4? He doesn't speak very much about it in "My system", yet it seems a good idea... Has anyone tried it? Thanks Aug-05-08    freeman8201: Reti played 4. d4 keeping the initiative! Anybody else play this line?
