Jan-28-05  familyguy: the perenyi attack is shirov's favorite
with g4 against the nadjorf sicilian in a book i saw it was commented that 21.Qd5 is better (i think this was shirov's own analysis) most of this is theory gelfand tried to revive this line with Ba5 (seen) instead of Be7 nowadays 7...h5 is more common
Feb-15-05  familyguy: yo someone comment please
