  tpstar: This English line splits the board in half = White gets the Queenside, Black gets the Kingside. Therefore 6 ... g6 intending ... Bg7 is more consistent than 6 ... Bb4 although both are playable. Note 7 ... d6 8. b4 d5 fixing the Queenside Pawns on dark squares, also 15. Qb5 a6 16. Qxb7?? Ra7 traps the Queen. Nice Discovery motif at the end (35. exd4 e3+ & 36 ... e2) and Black mates quickly.

Aug-05-05  Kangaroo: After the move 9 the English opening became ... French (reversed colors). Korchnoi is much stronger in French - whatever color he has to play - against many opponents.
