CGreene has kibitzed 11 times to chessgames   [more...]

Sep-09-05 Sicilian, Fischer-Sozin Attack (B86)    CGreene: <FearesomePawn> I was thinking of rehabilitating my own Open Sicilian repertoire and last weekend bought the two current books out on the English Attack (white plays f3, Be3, Qd2/g4).
