May-13-04    chess player matt: this is my fav black defence to the ruy Feb-02-05    Open Defence: I think this line offers a lot of promise, not many e4 players prepare for it and the results are encouraging, I see Valery Salov used to employ this line, know of any other active top GMs (though Salov currently is not active or top) that employ this line ? Feb-02-05    e4Newman: I'm amazed that I've never come up against such a defense. Especially in the club curcuit where you seem to get all sorts of crazy lines. As a Lopez player, I'd love to hear some more feedback on this system. At first glance, black's f-pawn looks pretty tempting. I noticed Nigel Short has 8 games in the database as both white (3) and black (5). 7 draws, 1 loss as black. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... There are some notable opponents in that list. Feb-02-05    Open Defence: <e4newman> spot on! the f pawn is backward and the f7 square (weakest square for black) also is made slightly weaker However, from the games I don't see that as a fatal handicap for Black, may be more research would bring this out, my gut feel is that Black can get a better hold on the center. I think the real worry for Black is the Q-side, I see White getting some passers there Feb-03-05    e4Newman: Defensively speaking for white, black's fianchettoed bishop can easily be stopped as long as the centre is kept closed via a move such as d5, which also gains a tempo by attacking black's knight. <Open Defense> Your idea of mobilizing the q-side pawns sounds very tempting. Feb-03-05    Open Defence: <e4> I'm flattered when you say it's my idea to mobilize q-side pawns, hehehe I just see it in the games played :-)
