But there is more as a superb openings article from Dorian Rogozanko on the famous Noteboom variation that runs with the moves 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 e6 4.Nc3 dxc4 5.e3 b5 6.a4 Bb4 7.Bd2 a5 8.axb5 Bxc3 9.Bxc3 cxb5 10.b3 Bb7 11.d5 and all under the ECO code D31,but there are more surveys as the Italian game by Mihail Marin C55 with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d3 h6 5.0-0 d6.
Or the Wojtkiewicz variation by Eric Prie 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.e3 Bf5 where Eric Prie writes: The recently departed Latvian-Polish-American Grandmaster was the world specialist of this line, with which he achieved enviable statistics in an overall environment of unfavourable figures for Black. Personally, I adopted it when I came upon Shulman,Y - Wojtkiewicz,A ½-½ Stilwater match 2005, trying to find a better antidote than 4...a6 5.Qc2 hampering the development of Black's queen bishop out of the pawn chain 5...b5 6.b3 Bg4 7.Nge2 Nbd7 8.h3 Bh5 9.Nf4 Bg6 10.Nxg6 hxg6 11.Bb2 g5!? This is probably playable for Black but difficult when faced by White's pair of bishops as proven by my miserable score against Glenn Flear with it. In comparison, the problems Wojtkiewicz had to face against Shulman seemed to me to be a cure!
4...g6 5.Nf3 transposes into a Grünfeld Schlechter against which Black should play the typical c5 break. The time Black has lost however really tells in this apparently unambitious line for White.
But there is more Grünfeld fun as the contribution from Michal Krasenkow who digs in the exchange sacrifice D89: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.e4 Nxc3 6.bxc3 Bg7 7.Bc4 c5 8.Ne2 Nc6 9.Be3 0-0 10.0-0 Na5 11.Bd3 Bg4 12.f3 cxd4 13.cxd4 Be6 14.d5 Bxa1 15.Qxa1 f6 and Lubomir Ftacnik on the D92 line 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.Bf4 0-0 6.Rc1 dxc4 .
Peter Lukacs and Laszlo Hazai look at the Nimzo-Indian with 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Qc2 d5 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.Qxc3 Ne4 7.Qc2 c5 8.dxc5 Nc6 9.cxd5 exd5 10.Nf3 Bf5 and Viktor Gavrikov continues with his repertoire against the Rubenstein variation part 2 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e3 0-0 5.Bd3 d5 6.Nf3 c5 7.0-0 Nc6 8.a3 Bxc3 9.bxc3 Qc7 10.cxd5 exd5.
Peter Lukacs and Laszlo Hazai go for 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Nxd4 Bc5 5.Be3 Qf6 6.c3 Nge7 7.g3 in the Scotch, Evgeny Postny made a impressive study with the Steinitz variation and Morozevich's discovery with 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 5.f4 c5 6.Nf3 Nc6 7.Be3 a6 8.Qd2 b5 9.a3 g5 and his conclusion is:
The line starting with 9...g5 is a new one, so it's too early to make a definite verdict. However, after this investigation I would say that the quiet move 10.Ne2 is the most unpleasant for Black. If White manages to keep his centre intact, he would secure a stable advantage. In the main sharp line 10.fxg5 Black's counter-resources seems to be sufficient. The whole line is very creative (Morozevich's style!), therefore I am convinced that we will see plenty of rich games in the near future.
The German openings expert André Schulz digs in the "Bjerring-Variation" 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Be3 Bg7 7.f3 0-0 8.Qd2 Nc6 9.0-0-0 d5 10.exd5 Nxd5 11.Nxc6 bxc6 12.Bd4 Nxc3!
And at last Dorian Rogozenko looks at the Sicilian B27: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 g6 3.d4 Bg7 4.dxc5 Qa5+ 5.c3 Qxc5 and Rainer Knaak at the Benko Gambit :1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 b5 4.Nf3 Bb7 5.Qc2.Other columns on this DVD are Daniel King Move by Move,Oliver Reeh: Tactics: PeterWells: Strategy,Karsten Müller Endgames with some extra Chess Media files,ICCF Telechess {Good for 2895 entries!!}Knaak Opening trap etc
