The Rossolimo with 3...g6 4 Bxc6 [B31]

The Rossolimo is currently the latest fashion which makes things very interesting when a Grandmaster renowned for ignoring opening trends sits down as Black.

The clash at the Olympiad Volkmann-Granda Zuniga produced a tough struggle and a win for Black.

Maximov-Baklan is a reminder of what Black is capable of in this line with a crushing 25 move victory.

Honour is restored to White in the game Shaw-Ballo.

The double-edged encounter Gallagher-Devereaux finally results in a win for White.
