1 OTHER SEMI-OPEN GAMES They start: 1. e2-e4 XABCDEFGH 8rsnlwqkvlntr( 7zppzppzppzpp' & % 4-+-+P+-+$ 2PzPPzP-zPPzP" Xabcdefgh WHITE SAYS: These openings are not so popular because they're not so good. Whichever one you play I know how to gain an advantage. BLACK SAYS: My opening's just as good as anything else. Because it's not so popular I have less to learn and you probably won't know very much about it.
2 THE 2. d2-d4 If White has the chance to stick both pawns in the middle of the board he should do so. Only a wimp would do anything else d7-d5 XABCDEFGH 8rsnlwqkvlntr( 7zpp+-zppzpp' 6-+p+-+-+& 5+-+p+-+-% 4-+-zPP+-+$ 2PzPP+-zPPzP" Xabcdefgh A very solid opening, favoured by former World Champion Anatoly Karpov. If you're looking for a defence which is safe and easy to learn, but not very exciting this could be for you. As in the French Defence, Black attacks the white e- pawn with his d-pawn. As in the French Defence, White has three choices: advance, exchange or defend. 3. e4-e5 is the ADVANCE VARIATION. Black usually replies with 3... Bc8-f5 before playing moves like e7-e6 and c6-c5. After 3. e4xd5 c6xd5, White can develop simply with Ng1-f3 or Bf1-d3, but more interesting is 4. c2-c4, the PANOV-
3 BOTVINNIK ATTACK. White's most popular 3rd move is Nb1-c3 when Black continues 3... d5xe4 4. Nc3xe4. Now Black has three choices: the traditional 4... Bc8-f5, the modern 4... Nb8-d7 (Karpov's choice) or the provocative Ng8-f6, giving White the opportunity to double Black's pawns. THE SCANDINAVIAN DEFENCE 1. e2-e4 d7-d5 XABCDEFGHY 8rsnlwqkvlntr( 7zppzp-zppzpp' & 5+-+p+-+-% 4-+-+P+-+$ 2PzPPzP-zPPzP" xabcdefghy Also known as the CENTRE COUNTER DEFENCE. This opening is becoming increasingly popular in club chess at present. This time Black attacks the White e-pawn at once.
4 2. exd5 There's no reason for White to play anything else. Now Black has two choices: Qd8xd5 and Ng8-f6. After 2... Qd8xd5, White usually replies Nb1-c3, gaining time. Black now plays Qd5-a5, following up with Ng8-f6, Bc8-g4 or Bc8- f5, and c7-c6, so that the Queen has a safe retreat. Slightly more popular is 2... Ng8-f6, offering a gambit. After 3. c2-c4 c7-c6 (e7-e6, the ICELANDIC GAMBIT, is also interesting), it is too dangerous for White to take the pawn. Instead he should play 4. d2-d4 c6xd5, reaching the PANOV- BOTVINNIK ATTACK in the. On move 3 White usually prefers to let Black capture on d5 and then attack the Knight. 3. d2-d4 (when 3... Bc8-g4 is the trendy reply) and 3. Ng1-f3 are both sensible moves.
5 THE PIRC DEFENCE 1. e2-e4 d7-d6< 2. d2-d4 Ng8-f6 XABCDEFGHY 8rsnlwqkvl-tr( 7zppzp-zppzpp' 6-+-zp-sn-+& % 4-+-zPP+-+$ 2PzPP+-zPPzP" xabcdefghy Black plans to FIANCHETTO his King's Bishop. His next moves will be g7-g6 and Bf8-g7. The plan is to attack White's centre with either c7-c5 or e7-e5, and perhaps also advance his Queen-side Pawns. But first White must defend his e-pawn, usually with Nb1-c3. White has a wide choice of set-ups here. The two most popular are the CLASSICAL VARIATION: White plays Ng1-f3, Bf1-e2, 0-0 and Bc1-e3, and the AUSTRIAN ATTACK: White plays f2-f4 and Ng1-f3, playing for an attack in the centre with e4-e5.
6 A closely related opening is the MODERN DEFENCE: 1. e2-e4 g7-g6 2. d2-d4 Bf8-g7 XABCDEFGHY 8rsnlwqk+ntr( 7zppzppzppvlp' p+& % 4-+-zPP+-+$ 2PzPP+-zPPzP" xabcdefghy Here, both sides have even more choices than in the PIRC DEFENCE. It can easily transpose into a PIRC DEFENCE or a KING'S INDIAN DEFENCE. If you play the King's Indian Defence against d2-d4 it's a good idea to play one of these openings against e2-e4.
7 ALEKHINE'S DEFENCE 1. e2-e4 Ng8-f6 XABCDEFGHY 8rsnlwqkvl-tr( 7zppzppzppzpp' sn-+& % 4-+-+P+-+$ 2PzPPzP-zPPzP" xabcdefghy One of Black's most provocative defences. Black dares White to set up a big pawn centre while chasing his Knight round the board. White could play Nb1-c3 but usually chooses 2. e4-e5 Nf6-d5 3. d2-d4 d7-d6. Now White can play ambitiously with 4. c2-c4 Nd5-b6 5. f2-f4 or play 4. Ng1-f3, contenting himself with a more modest centre. If you want to play something unusual and don't mind taking a few risks this could be the defence for you.
8 NIMZOWITSCH DEFENCE 1. e2-e4 Nb8-c6 XABCDEFGHY 8r+lwqkvlntr( 7zppzppzppzpp' 6-+n+-+-+& % 4-+-+P+-+$ 2PzPPzP-zPPzP" xabcdefghy After 2. d2-d4 Black plays d7-d5 (e7-e5 is a different idea, when White can take on e5 and attack the Knight) and as usual White has the choice of advancing (3. e4-e5, best met, as in the CARO-KANN with 3... Bc8-f5), exchanging (3. e4xd5 Qd8xd5, a sort of SCANDINAVIAN where White has to defend e4) or defending (3. Nb1-c3 d5xe4, when his d-pawn is threatened so he should play 4. d4-d5, not an easy move for Black to meet).
9 THE ST GEORGE DEFENCE 1. e2-e4 a7-a6 2. d2-d4 b7-b5 Once used by English GM Tony Miles to beat Karpov. Not quite as bad as it looks: Black will follow up with Bc8-b7 (to attack the e-pawn, which White cannot defend with Nb1-c3 because of b5-b4), e7-e6 and c7-c5. OWEN'S DEFENCE 1. e2-e4 b7-b6 2. d2-d4 Bc8-b7 A similar idea to the St George's Defence. Black may follow up with e7-e6 and d7-d5 with a sort of FRENCH DEFENCE, but White has an easy development.
