repertoiresbr /
/h3
I've compiled a spreadsheet of recommended White repertoires from
various
books, websites and other sources; it is interesting that some sort of
consensus emerges, at least for the 1.e4 player, even though no one
book recommends the complete list:br /
ul
liMain system: Scotch Four Knights'/li
liAlekhin (1...Nf6): Exchange/li
liCaro-Kann (1...c6): Panov-Botvinnik/li
liFrench (1...e6): Tarrasch/li
liPirc/Modern (1...g6): 150 Attack/li
liScandinavian (1...d5): Main lines/li
liSicilian (1...c5): Alapin 2.c3/li
/ul
There's some sort of theme there about looking for regular structures:
there are IQP/hanging pawns structures around in several of the lines.br /
br /
I'd be interested to hear of any additions (or
corrections -- I don't own all this stuff so I've had to take some of
it from reviews and BB comments).br /

"Many players, even of a high calibre, will assert, half jokingly and half seriously, that a difficult labour of analysis can be replaced by intuition. 'I played this move in a flash - it was obvious it couldn't be bad' is the sort of thing we often hear in a post-mortem. |
