AS176 Black plays an ambitious line against the Tromp, which involves a vital pawn grab. Unfortunately, he chickens out at the vital moment. result, we can watch his position go steadily downhill.


AS178 I tried to tussle with Mr Trompowsky himself and paid a heavy price, in the following encounter. However, there are significant improvements for Black along the way, so I don't think that we have seen the last of this line.

AS177 Everyone knows that the IQP must be kept under secure lock and key. Here we see Black ignoring this advice at his peril.

AS179 The Torre-Tromp with 5 Nf3 continues to be an important alternative to the new main lines. However, blocking the f-pawn so early does reduce White's options and give Black better chances of equalising.

AS180 Another Black player falls victim to the Rxh7 idea in the Tromp.

AS184 White takes advantage of a single inaccuracy, in order to create chaos on both sides of the board.

AS185 From a quiet begining, White launches a spectacular sacrificial attack, although as the notes show, Black had his chances.

AS182 Instead of a violent attacking game, for a change, let's watch White illustrate some fine endgame skills, in one of the sidelines of the Barry Attack.

AS183 White shows a completely different way of utilising the Barry Attack. By freeing the c-pawn for an advance from an early stage, White sets his opponent fresh problems.

AS181 In the following encounter, we see a World Championship finalist give a masterful display of how to deal with the London System.
