Mar-06-05    InfinityCircuit: This is an interesting opening line. The position after 6...Bd6 7.0-0 0-0 is deeply analyzed in Znosko-Borovsky's book 'How Not to Play Chess' (In all likelihood 30-40% of the book!) Here is a snippet of his ideas: The main problem for both White and Black is the development of the queen's bishop. For Black, two avenues exist: ...b6 and ...e5. ...b6 is less than satisfactory due to the blocked pawn mass on c6 and d5 that would obstruct the Bishop. Therefore ...e5 is best. He goes into a long treatise for White, and ...e4 is best there. Therefore the best moves, according to him, are as follows. 8.e4 (to activate the Bishop and put pressure in the center) 8...dxc4! (removing the Bishop from the diagonal that allows a check on the Black king) 9.Bxc4 e5 10.Bg5 Qe7 11.d5 c4 12.a4 (to stop the mass of Queenside pawns) Here both the Bishops can now be activated, and f5 and f4 for White and Black, respectively, can make admiral places for his knights. I recommend the game Znosko-Borovsky vs Mattison Hermanis K, 1926 for those interested in the continued plans of attack according to Znosko-Borovsky. Aug-04-06    gambitfan: Don't we have the wrong move order with this : 1 d4 d5 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 Nf6 4 Nf3 c6 5 e3 Nbd7 after : 1 d4 d5 2 c4 e6 then 3 cd ed 4 Nc3 Nf6 5 Bg5 Be7... and this is very favourable for White... The right move order seems for me to be : 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nf3 d5 4 Nc3 c6 5 e3 Nbd7 May-27-07    refutor: is there any good "anti-meran" lines for Black? besides the slav proper i mean ;) e.g. is black forced to play 5. ...Nbd7, or is there something equally playable after 5. e3 Nbd7 6.Bd3 besides 6. ...dxc4 i'm thinking about returning to the semi-slav without worrying about the meran thanks Nov-18-10    rapidcitychess: <refutor> I usually do fine with the main line against the Meran. Bd6+e5 looks ok to me if you want to deviate though. I'm no expert. P.S <InfinityCircuit> did a good job on that line, following Z-B's advice..
