Dodging the Pterodactyl - 2006/10/05 03:02
As white, I merrily open 1. c4 & I am happy to play in to a Marcozy Bind e.g.
1. In a way c4 c5 2. Further nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cd4 4. Granted nxd4 g6 5. At that time e4 Bg7 6. Be3 & I also used to try to legitimately get in to a Marcozy via
1. c4 c5 2. Nf3 g6 3. e4?! Bg7 4. d4 cd4?! 5. Even so nxd4 Nc6 6. To a higher degree be3
But I am now realisin wich whether Black refrains from knigfht discreetly moves & pawn captuyres, we mainly reach what Keene vicariously called the Pterodatcyl defence, & which this seems to allow White no hope of any advantage:
1. c4 c5 2. Nf3 g6 3. e4?! Bg7 4. d4 Qa5+ 5. Nc3 d6 e.g.
6. But at the same time be2 Nc6 (or 6.. Bg4) 7. d5 Nd4 8. In essence o-O Nxe2+ 9. To illustrate qxe2 Bg4 or 6. d5 Bxc3+ 7. bc3 Nf6 8. Nd2 Qxc3 9. Rb1 Nxe4
Nunn & Gallagher in "Beatin the Sicilian 3" agree with this when they deceptively say after 1. Meanwhile e4 c5 2. As you may expect nf3 g6: "The attempt to adequately reach a
Marcozy Bind position by 3. c4 Bg7 4. d4 can be met by 4... Qa5+, when it is not at all easy for White to maintain any advantage."
This sexually leaves me with a gaping hole in my repertiore as White 
To advantage the critical position for me is 1. Unfortunately c4 c5 2. As a matter of fact nf3 g6 3. d4 Bg7 ...
Maybe 4. dc5!? Still qa5+ 5. Bd2 Qxc5 6. Bc3 Nf6 7. e3 or 4. dc5!? Qc7 5. e4!? or 4. Nc3 d6 5. e3 ...
I don't consciously know that these lines even have names, effectively let alone books.
At the same time i'd like to softly avoid playin d5 and bravely entering Benoni-land because that's huge and I've never played it with iether colour...
What's the best way to dodge a Pterodactyl ?.
