The widely-played Dutch Defence is a sharp choice. Black does not try to preserve a positional balance, but chooses to fight it out. No author is more qualified to explore new ideas in the Dutch than Viktor Moskalenko, a renowned champion of dynamic play. The Diamond Dutch is not a repertoire book. Moskalenko himself plays this chess opening with both colours and covers the entire spectrum for White as well as Black: - various Anti-Dutch weapons
- the Stonewall System
- the Classical System
- the Leningrad System.
As Moskalenko thoroughly shakes up the lines of yet another chess opening, he keeps both the strategic principles and the tactical finesses firmly in sight. He presents a host of novelties, daring recommendations, new resources and cunning tricks. As always he describes his ideas in his inimitable style full of humour and enthusiasm, and illustrates them with plenty of his own games.

273 games, 1855-2023 - 98_B06/B00/A42_Feustel Setup-The Hippopotamus
|
The Hippopotamus Defence is a name for various irregular chess opening systems in which Black moves a number of his pawns to the sixth rank, often developing his pieces to the seventh rank, and does not move any of his pawns to the fifth rank in the opening. Evaluation
Chess master and author Fred Reinfeld once stated of it that <"any expert player would dismiss Black's position as lost."> [Grandmaster Reuben Fine, one of the world's strongest players in the 1930s and 1940s, instructing his readers how to deal with such "Irregular Openings", wrote that "once a plus in development or center is set up, a well-conducted attack will decide." Reinfeld, who died in 1964, might have been surprised to see Black employing the same system of development successfully in the 1966 world championship match. There, Boris Spassky employed the same set-up, dubbed the "Hippopotamus" by commentators, in the 12th and 16th match games against World Champion Tigran Petrosian. In both games Spassky developed his bishops to b7 and g7, and his knights to d7 and e7. Both games ended in draws. (See illustrative games below.) R Nezhmetdinov vs M Ujtelky, 1964, Position after Black's 18th move: 
click for larger view
In employing this system against Petrosian, Spassky was likely inspired by the Slovak International Master Maximilian Ujtelky, who had been experimenting with similar openings for several years. Ujtelky's game as Black against Spassky at Sochi 1964, in which he played the same setup Spassky later adopted against Petrosian, is given below. Ujtelky played even more provocatively in some other games, such as against the very strong Soviet International Master Rashid Nezhmetdinov in the same tournament (see diagram at right). Nezhmetdinov sacrificed pawns on moves 26, 36, and 41, a knight on move 45, and a bishop on move 47 – and lost in 75 moves. Amatzai Avni, an Israeli FIDE Master and psychologist, has written of Ujtelky's play: Basically, Ujtelky was provoking his opponents to the extreme and was waiting for them to have a nervous breakdown. Sometimes he was slaughtered, at other times his scheme paid dividends. International Master Andrew Martin has written of the Hippopotamus, <"The idea is that Black develops within his first three ranks at the beginning of the game. He will construct a solid, stable yet flexible position, wait to see what White is doing and react accordingly."> In his book on the Hippo Attack & Defence, Eric Briffoz wrote: <"The Hippo somehow combines the benefits of the Owen defence (1… b6), together with the benefits of the Modern Defence (1…g6). While the Owen focuses on mainly controlling the central white squares d5 and e4, the Modern seeks to control the black ones on e5 and d4… "> Grandmaster Tiger Hillarp Persson has written:
<The Hippo lies low in the water. It looks almost ridiculously passive and many theoreticians consider the Hippo to be a peaceful, almost meek animal. But nothing could be further from the truth. On closer scrutiny the animal, the position, and the statistics look almost entirely different. The Hippo is a fierce animal; ready to crush anyone who gets too close.> Vlastimil Hort, Igor Glek and Mihai Suba are among the grandmasters who have employed the Hippo, and Kiril Georgiev has used it as an anti-computer line. As alluded to above, IM Andrew Martin wrote a book, The Hippopotamus Rises: The Re-emergence of a Chess Opening, about that opening in 2005. See reviews here and here. The term "Hippopotamus Defence" was also used by the English amateur J. C. Thompson to describe a system of his devising, where Black played c6, d6, e6, and f6; developed his knight, via h6, to f7; and did not necessarily fianchetto his bishops. As White, Thompson played the mirror-image of this. Thompson advocated this system in his 1957 book Hippopotamus Chess Opening. However, Martin writes that "frankly, his ideas have little value today". Illustrative games

A true Hippo places four pawns on the 6th rank and fianchettos BOTH bishops (if there's time to do so). The Black knights often begin by landing in front of royalty. The Hippo is often associated with the Modern/Robatsch Defense (B06) which fianchettos the kingside bishop w/a prompt g6, Bg7. The development of the king's knight is often delayed, which can be a dangerous. White is given a free hand in the center. The Indian Defenses with ECO code "E" are not closely related because the Indians often play Nf6 on the first or second move and perhaps Bb4 -- definitely not a characteristic of the Hippo. However, both defenses usually play d6 or e6 and perhaps b6 as well with a fianchettoed bishop. We'll begin with the "E" code Indian defenses just for some flavor. If nothing else, it's a refresher on attacking chess. The eventual winner of a chess game must attack/counter attack at some point. Do not play the Hippopotamus w/the idea of hiding behind pawns all game! "Open lines are decisive!" -- Fred Reinfeld. White Two Knights (Nc3, Nf3) Description:
4.5 = Bc4, Bg5
4.0 = Bc4, Bf4
3.5 = Bc4, Be3
3.0 = Bd3, Be3
2.5 = Be2, Be3
2.0 = Be2, Bd2
= = = = =
"Bestrafen" kann man das System häufig sobald das Spiel geöffnet wird. Vergleichsweise schwach ist häufig das Feld e6 (bzw. e3). Gegenmaßnahme:
- Das Zentrum mit Bauern besetzen. (e4/d4 bzw. e5/d5)
- Den Königsläufer würde ich fianchettieren. (zunächst nach g2 (g7), später auch nach h3 (h6))
- Kurz rochieren
- Schwerfiguren zentralisieren
- Abwarten bis der Gegner seine Stellung kompromittiert. Durch den Raumvorteil hat man mehr sinnvolle "Abwartezüge" (kleine Verbesserungen) zur Verfügung.
- Wenn der Gegner c5 (c4) spielt zieht man vorbei! Danach werden e6 (e3) schwach.
- Wenn der Gegner e5 oder d5 (e4 oder d4) spielt wird getauscht! Die offene Zentrallinie kommt dir zugute. = = = =

39 games, 1975-2022 - 98_B07-B09_150 Attack
|
The 150 Attack is a system for White against all Modern and Pirc Defence players. We shall examine all the ways Black can reach his desired set-up, whether it be from a Barry Attack move-order <1 d4 Nf6 2 Nf3 g6 3 Nc3 Bg7 4 e4 d6 5 Be3>, or otherwise. I used to play the Pirc Defence in order to lure White onto unfamiliar territory from an early stage. I suspect that, like myself, the majority of club players who try the Pirc or Modern Defence do so because they are intimidated by the more usual mainline openings. By opting out, Black has greater opportunities to confuse White with his various move-orders, which are hard to pin down. What White needs is a simple, yet effective response, which can be used against any black system. The 150 Attack fits the bill perfectly. White negotiates the course of events on his own terms. I feel the 150 Attack is putting Black off playing the Pirc/Modern Defences at all levels. It has been successfully adopted by the world's elite, such as Kasparov, Anand, Topalov and Leko, to name just a few. To whet your appetite, here is an attractive white victory, from a super-grandmaster clash.

Opening Explorer <"The Extreme Caro-Kann -Attacking Black with 3.f3"> by GM Alexei Bezgodov Publ. New in Chess, 1st ed 2014, 271 p.
Blurb:
The Caro-Kann Defence has become one of the most important and popular replies to 1.e4. Its ‘solid’ and ‘drawish’ reputation no longer applies in modern chess. In fact, White could do with some new ideas to fight for an advantage in this chess opening. Grandmaster Alexey Bezgodov advocates a very early deviation, the annoying and little-explored 3.f3!?. This strange-looking move was already played by former greats Geza Maroczy and World Champion Vassily Smyslov, but the idea has come to fruition in the hands of modern world-class players like Vassily Ivanchuk, Alexander Morozevich and Judit Polgar. The move 3.f3!? considerably complicates life for Caro-Kann players, as it makes Black’s main problem bigger: the development of his bishop on c8. White’s chances to obtain an advantage are substantial, as Bezgodov shows in this fascinating new chapter in modern chess opening theory, packed with new resources, original analysis, clear explanations and dozens of tests.

Modern Variation after 4...Nd7, another solid positional line, which is characterised by the moves: <1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 (or 3.Nd2) dxe4 4.Nxe4 Nd7> At one time named after the first world champion Wilhelm Steinitz, nowadays the variation is variously referred to as the Smyslov Variation after the seventh world champion Vasily Smyslov who played a number of notable games with it, the Karpov Variation, after the twelfth World Champion Anatoly Karpov, in whose repertoire it appeared quite often, or, most commonly, the Modern Variation. The short-term goal of <4...Nd7> is to ease development by the early exchange of a pair of Knights without compromising the structural integrity of his position. Play is similar to the Classical Variation except that Black has more freedom by delaying the development of his bishop, and is not forced to play it to the g6 square. However, this freedom comes at a cost as White enjoys added freedom in taking up space in the center, and often plays the aggressive <5.Ng5!?> where Black's development is brought into question as well as the positional weakness of the f7-square. The famous last game of the Deep Blue versus Garry Kasparov rematch where Kasparov committed a known blunder and lost was played in this very line. Specialist knowledge is a must to play this opening. Otherwise Black could fall prey to early attacks such as the quick mating trap for White <5.Qe2> and then 6.Nd6#. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caro%...

|
The Wing Gambit in the Sicilian Defence runs 1.e4 c5 2.b4 (see diagram). After Black takes with 2...cxb4, the usual continuation is 3.a3 bxa3 (3...d5! is more recently considered superior, when White must avoid 4.exd5 Qxd5 5.axb4?? Qe5+ winning the rook, a blunder actually seen in tournament play in Shirazi–Peters, Berkeley 1984; instead 5.Nf3 is better) and now the main line is 4.Nxa3, though 4.Bxa3 and 4.d4 are also seen. It is also possible to decline (or at least delay acceptance of) the gambit with 2...d5. For his pawn, White gets quicker development and a central advantage, but it is not generally considered one of White's better choices against the Sicilian and it is virtually never seen at the professional level. Amongst amateurs it is more common, though still not so popular as other systems. After Black's 2...cxb4, another popular third move alternative for White is 3.d4. GMs George Koltanowski, David Bronstein and World Champion Alexander Alekhine have played this line. <White can postpone the gambit one move by playing the Wing Gambit Deferred, playing 2.Nf3 followed by 3.b4. The deferred Wing Gambit is considered to be best when black responds <2...e6>.[1] The Portsmouth Gambit runs <2.Nf3 Nc6 3.b4>, where Black is disinclined to refuse the gambit due to the positional threat 3.b5, displacing the knight and disrupting Black's smooth development.> It is also possible to prepare the gambit by playing 2.a3!? followed by 3.b4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_... = = =
In his book about the Sicilian Wing Gambit (1.e4 c5 2.b4 cxb4 3.a3) Marcus Schmücker takes a closer look at a very interesting opening, which for a long time has been regarded as a daredevil's approach or, at best, as an exotic option to avoid the enormous theoretical material of the Sicilian Defence. As a matter of fact, the idea of this gambit is quite serious. By eliminating Black's c-pawn and ensuring a swift development of his queen side, White wants to obtain positional compensation for the sacrificed pawn.
The author concentrates on the best answer 3 ... d5, which enables Black to prevent his opponent from building a strong center with pawns on e4 and d4. The often ensuing sharp tactical skirmishes in most cases fill white spots on the theoretical rnaps. White has good chances to obtain advantage early on, which can even lead to a quick win if the opponent is completely unprepared. Of course, it's not to be expected that the Sicilian Wing Gambit will be used more often in GM tournaments from now on. But maybe the book can encourage more main stream players to include this neglected but serious anti-Sicilian weapon in their opening repertoire. Whether the popularity of this gambit will grow depends, however, on its success in practical games. It's the author's intention to treat all alternatives of the 'standard move' 3 ... d5 in a second volume. = = =

Moshe Czerniak has played 2.b3 since 1943: so Czerniak Variation is more appropriate. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...

Most contributions: Repertoire Explorer: Tamaz Gelashvili (white) (91 gasmes) Robert Snyder is a US National Master andthe author of a pamphlet, <The Snyder Sicilian>, analyzing <1.e4 c5 2.b3>. Only game here: R Snyder vs J Peters, 1976 = = =
I like it after <1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.b3> (Kaufman recommends this in his first repertoire book, "The Chess Advantage In Black and White") - against 2...d6 or Nc6 he goes for 3.Bb5. I think the thing is, after e6 and b3, black might liked to have played e5 in one go with a c5/d6/e5 pawn structure, knights on c6 / e7 and kingside fianchetto. (A Botvinnik structure). Playing b3 early lets black go for this formation straight away. This may be a subjective judgement on my part, I do admit. <Bibliography on 2.b3 vs the Sicilian> An early b3 for White is gaining legitimacy, as witnessed by the recent high-level appearance of the Nimzo-Larsen Attack with 1.b3 (consider, for instance, the games of Baadur Jobava and Elisabeth Paehtz). So it should hardly surprise us that an early b3 is being used with greater frequency against the Sicilian (1.e4 c5 2.b3), and analysis and experience show that it represents a fully legitimate system. Those seeking an unusual way of meeting these two most common Black defenses to 1.e4 would do well study 2.b3 against both lines due to the possible transpositions between them, as shown by the repertoire of IM/WGM Eva Repkova. Dr. Richard Lewis of the Kenilworth Chess Club has been using this repertoire for over 40 years, and theory is just catching up with him... <The Sicilian with 2.b3 (Snyder Sicilian, Czerniak Attack, b3 Sicilian)> Most 1.e4 players these days accept that the Sicilian is a tough nut to crack, so they are happy just to reach an interesting position where they might feel more comfortable than their opponents. The line 1.e4 c5 2.b3 (or 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.b3, sometimes called the Westerinen Variation) definitely serves that purpose and has been used occasionally by some very strong GMs, including Nigel Short, Boris Spassky, and Alexander Morozevich, and has been the main anti-Sicilian weapon of such strong players GM Tamaz Gelashvili , IM Moshe Czerniak, and IM/WGM Eva Repkova. It was first used in Cochrane - Staunton, London Match 2 1842 and tried out recently by current World Champion Magnus Carlsen. I suggest that the name Czerniak Attack should take the place of Snyder Sicilian, especially given the reputation problems of the latter.

In chess, the Smith–Morra Gambit (or simply Morra Gambit) is an opening gambit against the Sicilian Defence distinguished by the moves: < 1. e4 c5 2. d4 cxd4 3. c3 > 
click for larger view
Opening Explorer White sacrifices a pawn to develop quickly and create attacking chances. In exchange for the gambit pawn, White has a piece developed after 4.Nxc3 and a pawn in the center, while Black has an extra pawn and a central pawn majority. The plan for White is straightforward and consists of placing the bishop on c4 to attack the f7-square, and controlling both the c- and d-files with rooks, taking advantage of the fact that Black can hardly find a suitable place to post their queen. The Smith–Morra is uncommon in grandmaster games, but is popular at club level. History
The Smith–Morra is named after Pierre Morra (1900–1969) from France, and Ken Smith (1930–1999) of the Dallas Chess Club. Hence in Europe the name Morra Gambit is preferred; names like Tartakower Gambit and Matulovic Gambit have disappeared. Morra published a booklet and several articles about the Smith–Morra around 1950. Smith wrote a total of nine books and forty-nine articles about the gambit. When Smith participated in an international tournament against several top grandmasters in San Antonio in 1972, he essayed the opening three times, against Donald Byrne, Larry Evans, and Henrique Mecking, but lost all three games. Continuations overview
Black has a wide choice of reasonable defences after 1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 3.c3. White sometimes plays 2.Nf3 and 3.c3, which depending on Black's response may rule out certain lines. <Morra Gambit Accepted: 3...dxc3
< 4.Nxc3
< Classical Main line: 4...Nc6 5.Nf3 d6 6.Bc4 e6 7.0-0 Nf6 8.Qe2 Be7 9.Rd1 e5 10.h3 or 10.Be3 > < Scheveningen setup: 4...Nc6 5.Nf3 d6 6.Bc4 e6 7.0-0 Nf6 (or Be7) 8.Qe2 a6 9.Rd1 Qc7 (probably inferior Qa5) 10.Bf4 (10.Bg5) Be7 > < Siberian Variation: 4...Nc6 5.Nf3 e6 6.Bc4 Nf6 and 7...Qc7, with the idea being after 7.0-0 Qc7 8.Qe2 Ng4!, 9.h3?? loses to the famous "Siberian Trap" 9...Nd4!, winning the queen. If instead White plays 9.Rd1, preventing 9...Nd4, black can continue with 9...Bc5 with a clearly better game. > < Nge7 variations: 4...Nc6 (or 4...e6) 5.Nf3 e6 6.Bc4 a6 (Nge7) 7.0-0 Nge7 (d6 8.Qe2 Nge7 9.Bg5 h6) 8.Bg5 f6 9.Be3 > < 6...a6 Defence: 4...Nc6 5.Nf3 d6 6.Bc4 a6 eventually 7...Bg4 > < Fianchetto: 4...g6 (4...Nc6 5.Nf3 g6 allows 6.h4!?) 5.Nf3 Bg7 6.Bc4 Nc6 > < Chicago Defence: 4...e6 5.Bc4 a6 6.Nf3 b5 7.Bb3 d6 8.0-0 and Black plays ...Ra7 at some stage > < Early queenside fianchetto: 4...e6 5.Bc4 a6 6.Nf3 b5 7.Bb3 Bb7 > < 4.Bc4[edit] This line is similar to the Danish Gambit: 4...cxb2 5.Bxb2 >> Morra Gambit Declined
< Advance Variation: 3...d3< First transposition to the Alapin: 3...Nf6 4.e5 Nd5 > < Second transposition to the Alapin: 3...d5 4.exd5 Qxd5 (Nf6) 5.cxd4 > < The latter has a bad reputation, as square c3 is free for the knight.

<Anti-Anti-Sizilianisch: Mureys Gegengift 1.e4 c5 2.c3 b6 <Frank Zeller>> Der Sizilianisch-Spieler strebt nach einer gehaltvollen schöpferischen Auseinandersetzung und ist bereit, für spätere Konterchancen auch zeitweilig in die Defensive zu gehen. In den meisten Haupt- und Nebenvarianten funktioniert dieses Konzept recht gut, einzig die Alapin-Variante 2.c3 erweist sich als fast uneinnehmbare Bastion der Bürokraten am Schachbrett: In den viel zu übersichtlichen Stellungen erhält Weiß eine risikolose Initiative, deren Neutralisierung nur zu Verflachung und Remis führt - zu oft auch gegen nominell schwächere Gegner.
Und genau hier setzt das „Gegengift“ an: Mit 2...b6 setzt Schwarz auf eine Dschungelstrategie, und mit Fortdauer des Kampfes werden die Positionen immer komplizierter statt - wie nach 2...d5 oder 2...Sf6 - immer einfacher. Wie schon bei „Sizilianisch im Geiste des Igels“ brilliert Zeller mit dem Aufspüren immer neuer Ressourcen in gefährdet scheinenden Stellungen; man kann sogar sagen, 2...b6 ist die Fortsetzung des Igelkonzepts anläßlich von 2.c3.
Das vorliegende Buch beruht auf einem längeren Artikel desselben Autors in der Zeitschrift „Randspringer“ (1996). Die Idee selbst geht auf den legendären Jakob Murey zurück, einst Sekundant Kortschnojs bei dessen Feldzug gegen das Sowjetimperium und einer der kreativsten Köpfe in der GM-Riege. Heutzutage wendet, neben Zeller selbst, vor allem der junge israelische GM Artur Kogan dieses System mit großem Erfolg an.
Nach dem erwähnten Sizilianisch im Geiste des Igels (2001) und Einblicke in die Meisterpraxis (2004) ist dies das dritte Buch des internationalen Meisters Frank Zeller im Schachverlag Kania. Die leichte Feder des vierfachen Meisters von Württemberg, bekannt aus seinen vielen Zeitschriftenartikeln, läßt auch dieses Werk zu einem lebendigen Genuß werden und bietet zudem einen authentischen Einblick in die Eröffnungswerkstatt eines Spitzenspielers.
