you mean 7...Be7.
that would be a great system for black, but like your schveningen "system," you conveniently make some bad moves for white. Like 7.Be3, for starters. 7.Bb3 is the main line for a reason. 7.Be3?! is hardly ever played, and never by top GMs, as it commits the queenside bishop to early. 7.Bb3 b5
8.0-0 Be7
9.Qf3
is a much better way to go for white, though Black has been doing fine lately in most of the Fischer-Sozin lines against the Sicilian. It's great to have your own "system" but no good player is going to play 7.Be3 against you. |

| Oct-19-12 | | IoftheHungarianTiger: Could chessgames by any chance put up Zenyuk's draw against Nakamura? I found the game at uschess.org, but it would be nice to have it here, and I haven't found it anywhere on this site. If anyone is interested in playing it through, however, this was game: Bill Wright Saint Louis Open, 2010
White: Zenyuk, Iryna
Black: Nakamura, Hikaru

|
| May-14-13 | | IoftheHungarianTiger: Thanks for the link <GreenLantern> ... although I knew she was pursuing a PhD at Carnagie-Mellon (which obviously means she's very intelligent), seeing her accomplishments in detail (at least as much detail as my brain can handle!) is quite impressive! She just finished playing the in the 2013 US Women's Championship, and did quite well, finishing tied for 4th. She played a brilliant game in Round 7 vs Foisor, where she sacrificed her queen for a rook and bishop. |

| Dec-30-14 | | docbenway: Now she's working at Lawrence Berkeley and my new friend from Bosnia works there too though he didn't know for a while that she was into chess since she was focused on her work. |

| Nov-18-16 | | waustad: It seems she's now an assistant professor at Tufts, if the author of the article I read got it right. |
