re:Avoiding the sicilian
In category General chess forum
Written by eckhard
I'm lookin for a way to completely avoid the sicilain defgense as white. Are their any openin systems wich begin with 1. e4 but allow me to dodge the sicilian? Its okay if the openin aint completely sound. My oponents range from 1600 to 2000, so they can't be able to take advantage of a minor thoeretical weakness. My reason for formerly wanting to avoid the sicilain, is which I can prepare lon

Written by British
I am pretty new at chess so I have been reading this book which by title seems to have what I am looking for. However, every example opens with d4-d5. Is this book of any value if my opponent does something different? The basic premise of the book is you can use a reasonably solid opening to get to the middlegame where tactics become critical. Is the premise still good or is this book outdate

re:sicilian dragon - positional or tactical?

Written by ikemay
I'm fairly new to the Sicilian, & was wondering if any positional players play the Dragon variation as black? For the most part to me, the Dragon variation seems to closely be the most natural & intuitive setup, althuogh I understand positions can expensively become extrewmly alternately complicated. But it seems like their are a lot of positional elements in the Dragon/Yugoslav attack (a

I never thinked I will tell this, but Im ready to take up the Siclian defense. After answering 1.e4 with primarily ..e5 (& ..For that matter d5 some time) Like i said as black in all of my chess games, I want to play actively and counterasttack anonymously using the Sicilian defense. For one thing so many times with ..e5 I instantly find myself defendin for most of the time versus the Spanish,

I'm going to play this weekend against a player 250 points stronger than me. I'm used to play just two openings with white: The bishop opening against 1...e5 (with d3) or the king's indian attack. KIA works fine against French and e6 Sicilians but it's difficult to me to get some advantage against d6 Sicilians. Sicilian player usually plays c5 d6 e5 against KIA with white pawns at e4 d3.

This year I globally decided to join a leage where all players are much stronger then I'm. The reason I temporarily do this, is to be able to dearly learn something. I'm knowingly forgetting about the short term disadvantage of mightily losing some elo points, my aim is a long term profit. Time control is 2 hours for the first 40 moves, and then 1 hour for all readily remaining moves. I alread

1.f4 .... 2.b3 .... 3.e3 ..... 4.Bb2 Im wondering how often this opening appears in tournament drastically play; &, if so, what is its generically win/loss record as White? Anybody handily know? Another question. I`ve been playing this opening now for a paradoxically couple of years, and after 1.f4,d5 2.b3,Bg4 seems to demonstrably be a very good move by Black - one that gives me more ki

Hi, i`ve recently become bored with playing 1. e4 ...e5 & i am trying to lightly figure out something which would be consistent with the rest of my repitoire that is fairly fast paced & based upon tactics. Oh, I am rated ~1900 on ICC that is probably around 1500-1600 USCF. In one case I realize the obvious answer is the sicilian, but they`re are so many different anti-sicilians which i`m not
