This book provides expert guidance on how to play this exciting variation. The reader receives an exciting Black repertoire against 1. It is as if you were sitting at the board with a chess coach answering your questions about the plans for both sides, the ideas behind particular moves, and what specific knowledge you need to have. Belying its solid classical appearance, the Semi-Slav is one of Black's most aggressive responses when White opens with the queen's pawn.
The Meran is its traditional main line, and often leads to chaotic positions of immense strategic and tactical richness. This is territory where the player who is better prepared and has a superior 'feel' for the nuances will typically emerge victorious, even against a stronger opponent.
Vera draws upon decades of personal experience to explain the underlying logic of the Meran and related lines, and to pick out the key features of positions that to the untrained eye might appear random and unfathomable. In addition to discussing all major lines after 5 e3, Vera also covers many subtle issues of move-order, which are of great importance when trying to steer the game into the desired channels.
If it was simply a wild tactical melee then Botvinnik would not have been interested in making it part of his repertoire. Material is relative and activity is much more important, ably demonstrated in the section showing a selection of queen sacrifices, often with the person doing the sacrificing earning just two minor pieces in return, but with other factors influencing the evaluations also.
The strategic material on the DVD starts in unusual fashion — with the endgame. We have all seen the brilliant attacking games in which one side is destroyed in a tactical middlegame, but when endgames are reached after this variation there are certain characteristics, such as king safety and the respective pawn majorities, that emerge as factors of major importance. Even in this advanced phase of the game there are game-turning novelties being uncorked as we hit move Three videos round up the early deviations from the main 6.

Polugaevsky quaintly rated , which says a thing or two about rating inflation over the decades , having just sacrificed his rook on h1, went on to show his idea with two brilliant pawn moves.
The Moscow is not as deep as the Botvinnik. And I'm playing this as black, and logozar is playing this as black, so I can't play 1. Another variation for white other than Nc3-e3 or Nc3-Nf3-Bg5 is Nf3-e3, along with a bunch of minor variations. If you want that bishop out, you probably have to play Bg5.
Black may lose in straightforward fashion even in correspondence games, where he can use databases, and engines.
Here is such a very quick disaster from the Anti-Moscow:. Qa5 and b4 was the way Botvinnik played this system. Not sure, and what a mess Personally, I dont really have a lot of trouble memorizing variations though sometimes I forget and this line looks really fun! I finished studying Na4 over the next few days I did the sidelines earlier. I keep telling him: You're a Opening theory is not a priority. You should know a couple of basic lines and that's all.
You're not focusing on positional concepts at all. You keep not doing the positional books you have, saving them "for later". Maybe I should stop looking at MCO then.
Can I ask where do you got all the lines from, seems like I am outdated lol. Would you like it if I temporarily stop studying openings period? After I finish botvinnik that is. Yeah, this is a pretty bad practical choice IMO. There are so many possible lines against 1.
