Nov-23-03    mprchess: Check out the percentages! Amazing! Nov-23-03    PinkPanther: Probably the only legitimate contribution Saemisch ever made to the game, seeing as how the Saemisch variation of the Nimzo Indian isn't viewed as being too respectable anymore. Nov-23-03    Sneaky: My favorite lines in the Samisch Attack are ones where the center becomes blocked, White castles long, and both sides initiate pawn storms on each other's position. I learned a lot about chess playing this opening, when it dawned on me that White can be slightly better off because he hasn't pushed his a or b pawns, while Black has played the weakening ...g6 move. Of course I was told for years that pushing pawns in front of one's king (or anywhere for that matter) incurs serious weaknesses, but it never really hit home until I started to conduct pawn storms with f3, g4, h4, and h5, tearing holes in the enemy position. Meanwhile Black can push a pawn to b3; but that's met with a3, or he can push a pawn to a3, but that's met with b3. In summary: Flat pawns = safe pawns. Fianchetto = taking your life into your own hands. Nov-23-03    Sneaky: <Probably the only legitimate contribution Saemisch ever made to the game> That's not true at all; he was a prominent opening theoretician. Don't think that player's contributions stop at the openings named in their honor. I can't site an example off the top of my head but I've read in more than one opening book "such-and-such a move was an idea of Saemisch..." Mar-27-04    morphyvsfischer: <Sneaky and anyone else who cares> I find this funny: As you know, Fischer often played KID, but despised the Sicilian Dragon because of the 'pry open the h file, sac sac mate!' assesment. However, White, in the Saemich, can play pretty much the same way, with more space, and an advantage with a locked up Qside! The ultimate irony in chess... Sep-21-06    BaranDuin: Not really, in the yuguslav attack white has already developped his white square bishop, which usually stays at home for a long time in this line.
