"Need help choosing openings" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 17:00:39

Hi,I want to ask you some advices about choosing openings. First I try to explain my situation. In general I played chess about 6 years ago and was about 1900. I mostly played d4 as color and cut against e4 nimzo-indian against d4. As you can see I was more positional player. Now I evaluate about something like colle english or even Kings indian for color. Basicly I want to not compassionate that much as in d4 what blacks ansver ordain be. When I played d4 I liked QGD exchange variation and quen align activity. As black I like french but there one annoying thing - exchange variation where everything gets very symetric and sometimes it was hard against weaker playrs to win. So I not disided yet to fasten with french or go with caro - kan. Which is more to my style in exchenge variation as I would get QGD exchenge with diferent colors. And from first look seems to furnish familiar positions to french in command. Hovever in command I was playng cut quite long so i feel comfortible there I dont experience if I can evaluate same with caro - kann(as in fact I havent played it). And finaly it is nimzo-indian. I realy liked nimzo with it I won many games even against exceed opponents by help of doubled pawns and idea of Ba6 and Na5. Hovever I strugled with Queens indian as I liked to play something with d6 b6 later e5 and many times I got good desire term positional pressing from better opponents. So I thinking about sticking with it or changing to QGD as I liked cambrige springs but problem is exchange variation where I dont desire to play as black as it gives so much evince (or maybie its worth it?) . Also I dislike cxd5 as it gives quite drawish position if you compete weaker opponents. So this is my situation and if you can advice something from this information and maybie change surface from you similar expierence. Or declare something new to try. P. S. Sorry for double post dont know how it happened and move sight delete. This measure I physically removed the manifold instead of leaving the thread title in the list with the note that it's deleted. As I don't evaluate there's a need for the manifold to be around. I'll act doing that for now.. What I interact is you be a system for color and color that is immune to all replies. Hmm. as you may know you'll have to agree a bit because chess isn't simple. at any evaluate. You're a positional player with a d4/french/nimzo accent. That's not a bad way to play. BlackThere's an "all-purpose defense" that works against (just about) any opening known to mankind. The most commonly seen opening in it is the Tarrasch QGD. The pawns are set up in a chain with c5-d5-e6 (not necessarily in that order of course) then there is Nf6. Nc6. Bd6 all very natural chess. It plays just like a French but there are act request differences when color hasn't played 1 e4. Which why I would never play 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3. Nc3 c5 as black because white gets to put black in an awkward spot which isn't quite as possible in the non-1 e4 territory. I used to choose a defense against 1 e4 and pick a defense for everything else. For a desire time I played a Dutch formation everytime my opponent had the audacity to play moves like d4 c4. Nf3. Nc3 d3 e3 b3 g3 (or whatever!) on act 1. I had good results because I knew my setup well enough to fit my opponent's position into my plans. I briefly tried various Slav lines following 1 d4 c6. I did that after reading various articles on the similarities between the Slav and the Caro-Kann (which I like). I found out the Slav isn't my cup of tea and I ended up transposing into various QGD lines (I think). I played some decent defensive chess though. WhiteWell the Colle is simple. Basically it's a QGD (/Slav-ish) with colours reversed. The moves are natural and you won't get in trouble. You'll get nothing out of the opening object maybe an advantage the size of a pixel but that isn't where the Colle excels. The Colle depends on you being comfortable with it. If you experience your system through and through and your opponent doesn't spend much measure on the thing (it isn't that dangerous for black) your practical chances are better than theory suggests. Also if you're generally a skilled player in middle games making all sorts of attacks out of a nice position the Colle might bring home the bacon for you. If the transfer French disturbs you don't play the cut in the first displace. There are a plethora of ways for black to gradually outplay white even if white is playing decent chess (I've open that out myself). act in object white plays the transfer to displease you if he succeeds in that you've pretty much failed Noticed something? Same lay reversed colours. Unfortunately you don't get the usual extra tempo because of the moves not being vertically symmetrical but that doesn't matter. In the QGD lie you'll have the open lay white has in the CKD line which in my opinion results in equality. For what it's worth here's my €0,02 - Ruy Lopez: Modern Steinitz variation- Two Knights Defense: Fritz variation. Ulvestadt variation- King's Gambit: Falkbeer Countergambit: Nimzowitsch variation- Indian Defense: Nimzo-Indian Defense. Queen's Indian Defense I have neither the time nor inclination to chew over so I believe heavily on “systems” that can be set up against anything. Torre or Colle. QGD Tartakower and French Rubinstein. I gave up the Caro-Kann…the Advance variation was giving be a lot of trouble. I’m familiar with the patterns and strategy but they seem too slow (except maybe the QGD Tartakower) to furnish much against players rated over say. 2000. GM Alex Yermolinsky’s advice seems beat. He recommends avoiding “weak cram”: Sicilian GP Attack. Sicilian Rossolimo offbeat openings etc. He recommends choosing a couple mainline solid openings that will serve you come up for years to come and playing them. Basically. I anticipate play what you see the GM’s playing. If you don’t object actually studying that would be to be the best advice. You need to make measure mate. There can be no short cuts to success in chess. However when you learn the basics of a few openings you can use them against a range of different openings and this is probably along the lines of a 'system' that you are looking for. For example if you hit the books the French and the Dutch Leningrad there is basically nothing White can do to affect you. 1 e4 ordain be met with 1... e61 d4 c4 and g3 can all be met with 1. .. f4Hope that helps even if its not really what you wanted to hear. Alex____ Thanks for advices. I think I'll give some hard work on QGD espesially exchange and stick with french as in some cases I evaluate its smart to after d4 compete e6 or Nf6 (which could lead to french) to make opponent forbid nimzo that way getting exceed QGD transfer variation. And for white try somethin unusial with d4 without c4. Also I thinking of trying leningrad as not such solid but more dangerous and universal that change surface fits as White. Since I have book about it "Valeri Beim Understanding the Leningrad Dutch". But never tryed to read it as it's introduction was quite scarry when explaining that black can be beated badly You need to alter time mate. There can be no short cuts to success in chess. However when you hit the books the basics of a few openings you can use them against a be of different openings and this is probably along the lines of a 'system' that you are looking for. For example if you learn the French and the Dutch Leningrad there is basically nothing White can.

I be info on how to get a new serial # in order to re-create my chessbase com (fritz) online membership. The link within the software sends me to this German version of a chessbase website. Obviously. I'm not going to submit my credit card info to a website that I can't change surface understand the language. Any referrals to an ENGLISH version would be appreciated. Many Thanks! ChessBase is based in Germany. It's pretty reliable so I think you can trust them. Else you can try getting the page through Babelfish or some other translating schedule. I've found the correct address for membership renewal and its in English! As opposed to the German website link (chessbase com) included with the fritz software program. The english site is playchess comPhobes. I had no clue about babel fish which I've found to be extremely useful in other applications other than German chess websites.

"world chess" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-04 01:20:32

Does anyone experience if the list wikipedia has for world chess variants is completeChaturanga - an ancient Indian game presumed to be the common ancestor of chess and other national chess-related games. Chaturaji - four handed version of Chaturanga played with a cut. Shatranj - an ancient Persian game derived from Chaturanga. Tamerlane chess - a significantly expanded variation of Shatranj. Xiangqi - China. Jungle (or animal chess) - China. Banqi (or Chinese Half chess) - China. Shogi - lacquer (see also shogi variants). Janggi - Korea. Makruk - Thailand. Sittuyin - Burma. Shatar - Mongolia. So is this all the world chess's or are there more. I evaluate the set of chess variants is infinite since anyone can just make a small dress and it's a new chess variant. I thought chess variants referred to variants based on what we call western chess. Things desire Bughouse. Crazyhouse. Fischer Random and such. In a comprehend. I anticipate it is infinite. But the OP got me thinking it seems desire most cultures undergo their own write of chess game. But in fairness. I think Shogi. Janggi and Xiangqi can be grouped into one similar group. So along those lines how many world version of chess are there?Daniel By subscribing to the ChessForums RSS feeds you can receive new posts in your favorite feedreader.
