| Jun-01-04 | | Swindler: Yes, Tarrasch was also a supporter of this opening. In his book on the St. Petersburg tournament of 1914 (a great book by the way) he annotates O Bernstein vs Gunsberg, 1914 and gives 5. ...Be7 as a bad move and cites 5. ...Nxe4 as the correct move. Theory has changed quite a bit since then! Why did the Open variation fall out of favour after Tarrasch? I get the impression that the Closed was seen as no.1 even before Karpovs Ng5. |
 |
| Jun-01-04 | | OneBadDog: This is a great opening. However, I think that the 9. Nbd2 lines have killed it (look at Kasparov-Anand '95). |
|
| Jun-01-04 | | PinkPanther: <OneBadDog>
It's only the "Karpov Gambit" which has "killed" this opening, but the gambit can be avoided by not pushing the pawn and pinning the knight with the bishop instead. Overall, I would say the Open Variation is alive and well. |
|
| Jun-01-04 | | OneBadDog: <PinkPanther> I understand what you're saying. However, most of the Bg4 lines lead to a slight but persistant edge for white. |

Most of the opening lines in all of chess lead to a slight but persistant edge for white. |
|
| Jun-01-04 | | OneBadDog: True, but depending on what your sources are, there are some openings that do equalize for Black. Looking at NCO there are a number of lines, especially against 1e4, that equalize. |
|
| Jun-01-04 | | PinkPanther: True, but only because of inaccuracies made by white. |

 | | acirce: I usually play 11. Bxe6 instead of the Ng5 "gambit". Quite as good, I think. |
|
| Jun-01-04 | | OneBadDog: the Qe2 lines are also intersting. |
|
| Aug-16-04 | | tomh72000: Do you mean 9.Qe2, the Howell/Keres attack? It seems to give black equality if he knows the theory. |

| Jul-28-06 | | Ness: after move 6. d4 why isn't the pawn captured? i must be missing something obvious! HELP PLZ |

 | | micartouse: <Ness>The line is considered dangerous for Black because it leads after a series of sharp forcing moves into a clearly superior endgame for White. An exemplary game is: Capablanca vs Edward Lasker, 1915
Also, White can easily force a draw by repetition if he desires. But every once in a while people do risk 6 ... exd4. |
|
| Jul-28-06 | | Ness: Ok Thanks for the help micartouse! |

|
| Oct-23-06 | | popski: I agree here with <refutor>. Also this opening isn't very confortable to play if you are not Korchnoi. |
|
| Apr-11-07 | | soughzin: I think acirce might have the right idea. Ng5 is shocking but I feel pretty prepared for it. One can stand on the shoulders of theory and be ready for a forced draw or win if white slips up. Bxe6 makes me fight For the draw, and a loss if I slip up. Anyone else have an interest in this line? |

 | | Hesam7: I know that Korchnoi has written the monographs for C80-81, C82 and C83; does anyone know when he wrote these three volumes?? |
|
| Apr-10-08 | | Simonkaser: There is a problem in the diagram. There isn't a bishop on e7, only one on e6. |
|
| Apr-11-08 | | Simonkaser: Correction : in the line above 9.c3 Be7 isn't marked (Bad English lol) |
|
| Jun-28-09 | | blacksburg: so...what's the verdict on this thing? has anything happened theoretically in recent years? i don't remember the last time i saw someone playing it. is black really in big trouble in the 9.Nbd2 lines? |
