Raspje: Interesting interview (in Dutch): http://www.schaakbond.nl/2011/robin... .
When Robin van Kampen has a question regarding the opening, he says he can always ask his vriend Anish Giri :)

Raspje: Bok (2507) is performing very well in Biel, by defeating GM Ivan Cheparinov (2669) with white in round 5 (4-5).

Raspje: Strong FM, dynamic-positional player, and a good friend :)

| | Jul-05-11 Anish Giri
| |
|
Raspje: And he finished with 7,5/9, two points ahead of the rest. Great! Seems like Giri is the most promising youngster around, and his rise may be compared with the rise of Magnus Carlsen. I predict Giri will finish ahead of Le Quang Liem in Dortmund, although Le is also a very good ...

| |
|
Raspje: A hell of a concept to sacrifice the pawn on c7 and reach a good endgame (!). The plan with ...a6 belongs to Alexander Morozevich, with the intention to put a bishop on d5. But Ding shows us you can also put a queen on d5 in this variation. Very interesting concept, very interesting ...

| |
|
Raspje: 5...e5 in this position is very interesting, it was analysed by GM Igor Glek in Secrets of Opening Surprises 12. The idea is to allow 6.Bb5+ because after 6...Bd7 7.Bxd7 Qxd7 8.Nde2 (8.Nf5 Nxe4 is good for black, see Glek) h6! (prevents Bg5) black kan pressurize pawn e4 with ...
