Rossolimo is a very complicated opening and suits only very good positional players and black with correct play can easily equalise. The open sicilian is much more dangerous.

Hi Boris. I’m wondering if you’ve ever considering filming video coverage along with your analysis. Similar to Chessable style. I believe many viewers would enjoy and purchase that on top of the files. Count me in first!

Looks interesting :) Do you have good amount of words in the pgn or is it mostly just moves? Also what do you think about 5. Nb3 e6 6.Nc3 Qc7 and now 7.g3 ? I know this is some big theory in the taimanov

Yeah agree, I noticed d6 isn't no more a ?! move, even more solid than e5 setup! nice video as always!

Thank you GM Boris Avrukh for your very helpful video!

Amazing work

i recall this line Moroni variation…the GM from italy play this line years ago

Babe wake up, new avrukh Sicilian video just dropped

thanks for your video very helpful

Thank you for your work, very hepfull for people who works by his own

The b6 line is tricky to play, white might develop an attack…

Also 5.f3

Problem with 4…e5 is 5.Nc2 d5 6.ed5 Qd5, great position not so easy to win as black… but ok, will check your files.. why not chessable?

I once looked at 5... h6!? in this position. I think it is interesting. But it has a downside: white can take forced draw

thank you, Sir!

2.c3 remains a problem vs weaker players… that is the problem with the Sicilian

The problem is Rossolimo. Svenishkov variation still quite good.

In 1985 I visited Leningrad, and played some old men in a park. 4...Qb6 was their speciality.

I may of missed it the video. would you characterize this file as mostly tactical? Vs positional

You talk too much....

Hello I'm very interested by this line but there is one move order that annoys me I wanted to know if you covered it in the file please? It's in the main line after 7...Nb6 White plays 8.Be3 Nc6 9.Be2 and if we play 9...Bb7 then they play 0-0 Nc3 and we don't have the line with Rb8 and if we play 9...Be7 then white play 10.a3! And the plan with Qc2 Rd1 Nc3 h4 and our bishop is not ideally placed on e7 in this line. Thank you in advance!

New idea 😂😂, i dont know any ideas in Sicilian, i just play whatever mistake my opponent makes.

Hey Boris! I was just wondering if your website offered opening tutorials and videos on how to improve at chess or is it merely a move database that logs and shows games. I only ask this because I am considering buying it, you are a good teacher and i think i could learn a thing or two from you.

New year wishes!

Sir can you recommend me what book should I buy? Till now I have purchased only 2 books, Woodpecker Method And 100 Endgames you must know My strength is around 1500 FIDE-1700 FIDE

You give some Kasparov`s wibes

Nice video. Glad you are still active. Is there a coupon code for your site? I've considered purchasing a couple databases but haven't found any way to get a discount besides the older databases that are now 30% off for new year, but I'm rather interested in specific files that have been reuploaded for this year.

Интересная идея, Борис. Пробовал вашу идею из принятого 4.е3 и дальше Nc6, вместо а6, работало неплохо Успехов каналу!

Not a new idea, judit polgar played it usually back then...

i believe saric covered this 6...Qc7 idea from whites perspective in his open sicilian course but not aware of this idea in other publications

Sir coaching classes available ?

Excellent video , hope to see more videos from this channel

Send me more O,Kelly variations SIR 🎉🎉🎉

thx i needed this badly. engine lines all petered out to equality

2:51 so, how black should respond here to save the bishop?

Wow, avoiding the issues in 5...Bxa6 with 5...e6!?, and then later hitting back with 14...g5! 15.Bh4 h5!. Very exciting!

is Reti and Zukertort the same?

I was earlier your student when you taught at nurtr

i ve always called it kasparov gambit. i believe that young kasparov had good results with it.

Thanks for the information! I will check your chessable course. Keep up the good work!

I really like this - i have also tried this 3. ... b5 idea and been crushed. There are some interesting lines worth investigating in the alternative that goes 1. d4 nf6 2. Nf3 g6 3. g3 Bg7 4. Bg2 0-0. If 5. c4 we attempt to transpose directly to fianchetto benko with c5, if 5. 0-0 d5 6. c4 dxc4!? 7. Na3 c3 leads to interesting play for black as well. The line is far trickier than it initially appears

Thanks very much for these free videos! 10... Bd4!! is an amazing move, it was played by Ragger in 2019. Btw, the chessboard lined up with top and bottom line of the video is not easy on the eyes; could you kindly make the chessboard a bit smaller, much appreciated!

Thanks for the great content as always! I've heard that the line 1.c4 c5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 e5 is called the Vaganian gambit

Great content, I play the same variations, instead of playing positionally little cramped position after a6 I propose 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 c5 3.d5 b5 4. Bg5 g6 5.Bxf6 ef6 6.e4 f5!? with pawn sack and rich play for black due to both bishops and extra strong Bg7

I paid for this Ruy Lopez at your website but I did not get the pgn file and you have not reply my email for refund. Please reply.

What do you recommend if White avoids the Benko. What's a suitable alternative for Black?

thank you, Sir!!

Interesting recommendations in e3 line! Will check it out

GM Avrukh any chance you will update your books on d4 fianchetto repertoire for white? Hope so! Glad you are making videos now. Cheers!

Great content! Cant wait video for the sharp systems against caro-cann and french
