| Nov-10-03 | | rochade18: isnt this openung with Qxd4 called hungarian? I think it is a good surprising weapon though Qxd4 looks even stranger than the Qxd4/d5 in the center game/ Scandinavian... |
|
| Nov-10-03 | | Kenkaku: I use this opening quite a bit when I'm looking to give an opponent an unexpected surprise. Of course the continuation is almost invariably 4...Nc6 5. Bb5 |
|
| Nov-10-03 | | PinkPanther: No, I believe the correct name of this variation is the Checkover (sp?) Variation. |
|
| Nov-10-03 | | refutor: chekhover variation |
|
| Nov-10-03 | | PinkPanther: Thanks for the correction, but I should probably expect the "Refutor" to refute my claim, now shouldn't I? :-) |
|
| Nov-10-03 | | John Doe: I think you should check over that spelling.
err... sorry |
|
| Dec-23-03 | | Bears092: Why don't more people try the marozcy bind in this variation? ie:
4... Nc6 5. Bb5 Bd7 6. Bxc6 Bxc6 7. c4 |
|
| Dec-23-03 | | bunti: Can anyone recommend a book written from white's perspective that suggests an effective way for playing against the sicilian defense? |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | PaulKeres: I think this is a nice move, although I agree it looks strange. |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | Hanna0803: Hi all,
I have a general question:Does anybody know examples of chessplayers who died while playing chess,and the score of the last game.
Ciao,

| Mar-25-04 | | Helloween: I've used this line quite effectively many, many times. The best positional continuation for White in the 4...Nc6 line is 5.Bb5 Bd7 6.Bxc6 Bxc6 7.c4! Nf6 8.Nc3 g6 9.Bg5 Bg7 10.Qd3 0-0 11.0-0. He will continue with Rfd1, Rac1 and finally Nd5 at the most opportune moment. White has a slight advantage. Black's best try against this line is 4...a6! 5.Bg5 Nc6 6.Qd2 h6 7.Bh4 g5 8.Bg3 Bg7 9.c3 Nf6 10.Bd3 and now either 10...Be6 or 10...d5 give Black an equal game. |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | ruylopez900: Qxd4 is needless since Nc6, Queen runs away Nf6 and Black is ahead on development. It seems to me recapturing with the Knight is the best option. |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | Kenkaku: <ruylopez900> The queen doesn't have to run away at all, read some of the lines given above. It's the same idea as in a variation of the Philidor. |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | ruylopez900: <Kenkaku> What if Black prepares Nc6 with a6, the Queen will eventually ahve to move away. |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | Kenkaku: <ruylopez> White is fine after 4...a6 5. Be3 Nc6 6. Qd2 and white is doing well in development, soon to castle queenside in most cases. |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | ruylopez900: <Ken> If White castles long Black has good attacking chances with a Rook on the c-file, a and b pawns storming with the Kingside Bishop fianchetto-ed. The Queen can also provide back up from b6. Development for black could continue Nf6, Bg4, b5, g6, Bg7 and 0-0 when Black's poised to launch an assault on White (Although you could forgo the fianchetto totally but its convenient to help the King castle.) |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | Kenkaku: <ruylopez900> You've just described the whole nature of the Sicilian. Black attacks queenside, white attacks kingside. 0-0-0 is 100% standard in most Sicilian lines, including this one, and is perfectly sound. You offer many moves for black, but white will be moving in that time as well, generally starting a kingside pawn storm. Black gains no decisive advantage. |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | BiLL RobeRTiE: I don't understand the logic behind this opening - the Queen is exposed too early, the knight is not centralized, and the all-important f-pawn remains locked. I suppose White could go for a Maroczy bind? 4. Nxd4 just seems more logical. |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | ruylopez900: All right <kenkaku> I submit. Qxd4 is not unsound, I just believe Nxd4 is superior. (Which may or may not be true). |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | Kenkaku: <ruylopez900> I think that Nxd4 is superior here as well, but Qxd4 should not be discounted (in the Philidor Defense I submit that Qxd4 is superior to Nxd4, but that's a whole different matter). |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | Phoenix: Every now and then I toss out 4.Qxd4 in an otb game. It's sound, albeit a bit tame, but your opponent will probably not take it all that seriously, which helps too. |
|
| Mar-26-04 | | Bears092: Right. The positions that come after the queen takes are a lot quieter than most sicilian players prefer. |
|
| Mar-26-04 | | ruylopez900: <kenkaku> I agree, in the Philidor ♕ takes is best. |
|
| Mar-26-04 | | 731: I think 5.-a6 is good here as it dislocates the binding bishop. |
|
| Mar-26-04 | | 731: I think 5.-a6 is good here as it dislocates the binding bishop and reduces the effect of having white's queen on d4, I've played Qxd4 twice in a tournament and both times the opponent answered 5.-a6. |
