September 2001 - What's New

Hi again! Welcome to the September 2001 update Aaron Summerscale aaron@chesspublishing.com

Torre Attack
SEP01/05 When Black plays 2..e6, White players who like their bishops are advised to steer clear of the space gaining 3.e4 and head for the calmer waters of the Torre Attack.
SEP01/07 Mr. Guthrie sent in the following game in the Nc3 system that we have been looking at closely in recent updates. I'd like to thank everyone who has sent in interesting games. D-Pawn specialists most definitely don't have to be Grandmasters and there are some fantastic attacking wins out there. Keep the good games coming!
SEP01/06 (Torre vs the Kings Indian.) The move ...Ne4 is a double-edged sword for Black in the Torre King's Indian. While the knight will gain time against the dark squared bishop, its very presence in the centre means that White's natural developing moves will attack it.
Trompowsky
SEP01/01 Just like the good (or bad, depending on your point of view) old days, Black shows a wanton disregard for his opponents possibilities and is severely punished result.
Pseudo-Trompowski
SEP01/02 White plays a quiet system against Black's most popular line of the Pseudo-Tromp and lulls Black into a false sense of security, then WALLOP!
Barry Attack
SEP01/08 Richard Dumoulin sent in this nice victory in a typical style for the Barry, from a game that he played on the ICC. Thanks Richard!
Veresov Attack
SEP01/03 Even the less aggressive White systems without f3 are dangerous for Black. As so often happens in the d-pawn specials, running to the queenside is no guarantee of safety for the Black king.
SEP01/04 Black gives a devastating attacking display, demonstrating that it is not only the Black king who can find himself in trouble on the queenside.
Blackmar-Diemer Gambit
SEP01/09 White tries an unusual system in the main line of the Teichmann defence and Black, perhaps in confusion, soon finds himself completely lost. This need not have been the case, as the notes show.
Miscellaneous
SEP01/10 After 1.d4 Nf6 The move 2.g4 is undeniably cheeky. White gambits a pawn in order to lure Black away from his main defences and to set up a big pawn centre. If this sounds like a good deal to you, take a look at this game, which may whet your appetite.
