Mar-06-05 French Defense (C00)
| |
| holierthanthou: <Waffles> It's playable but I can think of one big downside if you're going to play it like a Panov-Botvinnik. Black's main problem in the French is his QB which is usually trapped behind black's own pawns for a long time. In this sense this anti-French gives black a ... |

Feb-21-05 Aeroflot Open (2005)
| |
| holierthanthou: <yoozum> A quick search with Google confirms that Rublevsky won it after tiebreaks. Vaganian and Filippov tied him with 7 points. Apparently Ivanchuk didn't play last year. |

Jan-11-05 R P Michell vs Nimzowitsch, 1925
| |
| holierthanthou: <samvega> I most certainly am. First of all, <6. ..fxe6> is naturally followed with 7.Ne5 and a crushing advantage for white. It's the same thing with <6. ..f6>, 7. Ne5 fxe5 8. Qf3. Any attempts to trap the white queen are in vain, 8. ..Qc7 9. Qxa8 Nc6 ... |

Dec-25-04 Sicilian (B20)
| |
| holierthanthou: <morostyle> I thought there were references about a player from Sicily playing it regularly from as early as the 16th century. Infact, I believe Lucena mentioned 1.e4 c5 as an option already in his book published at the end of the 15th century. |
