REFINE SEARCH:   White wins (1-0) | Black wins (0-1) | Draws (1/2-1/2)

May-02-04    Vischer: Why is this played? It just immediately sends the knight back to g8, seems like a loss of tempo to me. May-02-04    Dudley: Black has provoked a pawn advance by white which creates a weakness on f5 and weakens the d5 square. The knight can redeploy to e7 or h6. May-02-04    hongisto24: well, it is officially dead...no one played it for several years...and if someone did...it was for shock value. May-03-04    BiLL RobeRTiE: Not true! I think this line is considered the harshest test of White's idea (3 e4). Somebody elaborate? Jan-06-05    cuendillar: Looking in the database it looks like white has scored excellent with it the last few years, almost like if it was refuted. Jun-29-06    Kings Indian: opening of the day! I prefer 1.c4 e5 going into a reversed closed sicilian but this opening seems fine. It's just a Macrozy Bind, whats so bad about that? Jun-29-06    WannaBe: It looks like, it can easily be transposed to the Moroczy Bind! Dec-18-06    2021: <Vischer> Here is a line from NCO: 1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 e6 3.e4 c5 4.e5 Ng8 5.d4 cxd4 6.Qxd4 Nc6 7.Qe4 d6 8.Nf3 dxe5 9.Nxe5 Bd7 10.Nxd7 Qxd7 11.Bg5 Bb4= Dec-18-06    2021: <Vischer> Here is another line from NCO: 1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 e6 3.e4 c5 4.e5 Ng8 5.Nf3 Nc6 6.d4 cxd4 7.Nxd4 Nxe5 8.Ndb5 a6 9.Nd6+ Bxd6 10.Qxd6 f6 11.Be3 Ne7 (slight advantage for white.) Apr-07-07    gambitfan: Opening of the Day 07/04/2007 Apr-19-07    WTHarvey: Here are some traps 'n zaps in A19 miniatures: http://www.wtharvey.com/a19.html Apr-19-07    gambitfan: OPOD 19/04/2007 Opening of the Day Nov-28-11    Penguincw: Opening of the Day English, Mikenas-Carls, Sicilian Variation 1.c4 ♘f6 2.♘c3 e6 3.e4 c5 click for larger view Dec-28-18    Nairaboi: This variation of English opening doesn't appeal to me.The reversed Sicilian variation is more preferable.
