Sicilian Taimanov 7.Qf3

The Sicilian Taimanov(Pavlidis,Quality Chess 2019)

A very nice book in the never ending series of must have books from Quality Chess

 

Time to get busy

 

Chapter 22 7.Qf3 Queen Lift/Transfer Line

7.Qf3 ch22 after 18..Nf4(Diagram)

White has three main choices

I took a quick look at the end positions. All I can safely conclude is that this a too much for a normal person to check, keep up with and remember. I will stick with the Caro-Kann for now, unless someone advises me otherwise.

After 18..Nf4

 

After 37..Kb7(Diagram)

This is the end position of one of the three main lines

Black is a pawn up but the b-pawn will fall soon.

After 37..Kb7

TWIC 1290 Najdorf Sicilian

selected games

I thought it was time to check out some sharper openings. Probably I could have spent much longer on each game

 

Xiong-Donchenko

Najdorf 6.Bg5 e6

52nd Biel Master Open rd6.1

After 22..Kd8(Diagram)

The strong Ne4 gives some compensation for the exchange

What do you recommend for White?

After 22..Kf8

I was marveling at the Australian Chess Federation Newsletter that keeps popping up in my mailbox.

It is really incredible and it is free!

selected game

Dickson-Nemeth

Hippo Defence

2019 Michael Kallaur Memorial rd1.6

 

After 16..Nb6(Diagram)

The position is closed but White has more central space

What do you recommend for White?

After 16..Nb6

 

Later in the game

After 22..hg(Diagram)

White has a massive attacking position

Find the best move(hint-it is not that easy)

After 22hg

 

 

TWIC 1290 Caro-Kann Advance 3..c5

selected games

3..c5 is an alternative to the normal main line 3..Bf5

 

Cornette-Bauer

CK Advance 3..c5 and 5.a3

27th Saint-Affrique Open Rd8.1 2019

After 19.Nxg7(Diagram)

White chucked the kitchen sink at the kingside castled position

What do you recommend for Black? This boils down to calculating what happens if the knight is taken and seeing if there is anything better

 

After 19.Nxg7
