Apr-19-04    Kenkaku: Nothing about the Richter-Rauzer? It is one of the most popular variations at the top today (excepting always the Najdorf). Apr-19-04    actual: I've read that the black side has been experiencing some trouble... May-29-04    Vischer: Is it possible to play 6...e5 and try to transpose into the Sveshnikov avoiding the Rossolimo? May-29-04    BiLL RobeRTiE: 6...e5? 7 Bxf6! gxf6 [7...Qxf6? 8 Nd5 Qd8 9 Nb5 and Black is already in a lot of trouble] and Black's position sucks a lot because of his screwed up pawns and the dominating knight that is about to land on d5. I don't know what you're trying to say when you refer to the Rossolimo variation - that starts on move 3 [1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bb5], and can be played against both prospective Sveshnikov players and Richter-Rauzer players who use the 2...Nc6 move order. May-31-04    Vischer: <BiLL RobeRTiE> thanks for the line, about avoiding the Rossolimo I meant be 2...d6 Richter-Rauzer, because I would prefer the black side of the Moscow than the Rossolimo. May-31-04    OneBadDog: I think that Black has been having difficulties in just about all lines of the Richter Rauzer. Even if Black equalizes, he has to go through Hell to do so. May-31-04    BiLL RobeRTiE: <OneBadDog> I am intrigued! Can you point out some good variations and guidelines for playing the White side of this? I gave this up for the Sozin Attack, finding it more direct than the R-R. May-31-04    OneBadDog: The Nb3 lines in the Richter Rauzer are really difficult for Black to equalize against. I was looking at NCO and virtually all variations for Black lead to a slight edge for White. In the Richter Rauzer, White doessn't have as many flashy victories as he would in the Sozin, but he often ends up with more active pieces and a btter pawn structure. Nov-18-04    artemis: Bill RobeRTie: The Richter Rauzer from White's perspective is awesome. White will have a massive lead in development. 1. e4 c4 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 Nc6 6. Bg5 e6 7. Qd2 Be7 8. 0-0-0 Qc7 9. Nb3 a5 10. a4 d5 11. Bb5! Nb4 12. Rhe1 (Anand Inkiov 1986) this line must be used very carefully. White will try to exploit his advantage down the center and on the kingside. The knights should try to replace themselves, but shouldnot be in a great hurry to do so, since they will not help the black queenside pawn advance (losing tempo for white). White will have a much better attack down the center and on the kingside, and I feel that Black does not get the same queenside initiative that he gets in the 6. Bg5 Najdorf. Some of the lines are similar, but the Black queenside rolls pretty quickly vs. the Richter-Rauzer Oct-16-05    Knight13: This opening is named after Vsevolod Rauzer, I think. May-15-06    WTHarvey: Here are 10 zaps and traps in B60 Richter-Rauzer miniatures: http://www.wtharvey.com/b60.html What's the best move? Jul-08-08    Method B: what about the <6...Qb6> variation? it looks a bit suicidal with white's kingside attack and pawn rush (much more than in the sheveningen or usual najdorf setup) but if black survives it he is ok. Nov-11-09    BobbyDigital80: When is chessgames.com going to correct the spelling of "Rauzer" in the "most played openings" section of people who play it. They spell it as "Rauser." Jun-07-16    FSR: I still don't know of a reliable way for Black to equalize against the Richter-Rauzer.
