WGM Raluca Sgircea, IM Renier Castellanos

Dutch Defense: Creating a good, sound repertoire that really suits one’s style of play is an important and difficult step for many chess players. If with the white pieces, it is relatively easier to give the direction of the game and try to take it to positions you are comfortable with, things are a bit […]

The #1 Pattern in the Indo-Benoni Structure

Indo-Benoni Structure and its Pattern number 1. The Benoni Defense (arises after the moves 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6 4.Nc3 ed 5.cd5 d6 6.e4 g6) is one of the most attractive options to play as black for those players looking for a sharp game. Historically, world champions have employed this defense with great success; […]

4 Best Openings for Black in 'Must-Win' Situations
GM Alex Colovic

Openings for Black: If Black wants to play for a win he has two general directions to choose from: he can try to equalize first and then outplay his opponent, or he can try to wrestle the initiative from White from the get-go. I would like to discuss the second option as it is often […]

Handling the French Defense - Bacrot Method

Bacrot Method’s creator is an extremely strong player with a wonderful chess career. Although for most of his career, he has been a 1.d4 player, Bacrot switches to 1.e4 every now and then. In previous articles, we have written about the importance of being practical in your opening choice. Following the sharp lines in the […]

7.Nd5 Against Sveshnikov Sicilian: For the first time since 2012, when Boris Gelfand used it as his mainstay weapon with Black after 1 e4 against Viswanathan Anand in their World Championship Match, the Sveshnikov Sicilian returned to the biggest scene in this year’s World Championship match between Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana. In a curious […]

Queen’s Gambit and how to play against it. An easy guideline for club players against White’s most solid opening. Studying openings is a never-ending duty for the competitive chess player. Even when one has already decided on a repertoire, it is not unusual to develop an interest in learning new systems. Through the years I’ve […]

Exchange Sacrifice for Defensive Purposes
IM Yuriy Krykun
09.28.2018

Today, I would like to discuss a topic, which in my opinion, is an important and interesting one, yet hasn’t been covered extensively in chess literature. How can sacrifices be used for a successful defense? Often, we cannot hope to survive an opponent’s attack by means of normal defensive moves that improve our pieces slowly […]

Reti and its Double Fianchetto. In the computer era that we live in, where every opening is analyzed in detail and every chess player, regardless of their level, knows a fairly amount of theory, it is important to have in your opening arsenal a system that doesn’t require so much memorization and is based on […]
