<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Modern Benoni is now a very popular defence. GM </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Flores Rios achieves nothing but a complex equal position with the 7.h3/e3 variation and eventually prevails in long maneuvering struggle. The result was not related to the opening so the Benoni remains secure.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As the third largest city in Bulgaria, and one of the country's most attractive towns and a popular holiday destination, Varna is known as Bulgaria's Seaside Capital and the 'Pearl of the Black Sea Coast'. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The town is arranged in tiers along the curve of Varna Bay, and besides being a popular beach resort, it rivals the important cities of Sofia and Plovdiv in its wealth of museums, art galleries, historical buildings and cultural entertainment, and as such is a year-round holiday destination.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Playing against the Semi-Slav is like hitting your head into a brick wall. Now it's time for me to upgrade my line(The Meran) which I have not done for quite some time now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So far I have been using the Reynolds Attack without really knowing what's going on. One idea worth looking into is the e-pawn sacrifice with 14.Ne2!?</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">The city of Taganrog is the leading industrial center of the Rostov region. The hometown of Chekhov.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>Position 1</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The position of interest arises after 13...c4. This is a typical position from the Reynolds Attack. White tried the e-pawn gambit 14.Ne2!? after which black replied 14...Bd6, fighting for the dark squares.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This blog is a hidden treasure from Australia.</span><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<i>A Nice Article On a Not So Common Line</i><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Everyone has favorite systems, and we all try to defend openings that get a bashing. Even some pretty decent openings come in for a bashing every now and again. Take the King's Indian Defence, or the Sicilian Dragon. Then again, if you're going to play a fighting opening, then you will also have to fight to defend your opening's reputation.</span><br style="line-height: 20px;" /><br style="line-height: 20px;" /><span style="line-height: 20px;">The system that I have a soft spot for is the Hennig Schara Gambit. When I was a young player, Kasparov was not yet World Champion and was playing the Tarrasch Variation of the Queen's Gambit (among other fighting systems). </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">It was back then in the mid 80's that I first really became aware of the Tarrasch and the amazing piece play that black can generate at the expense of pawn weaknesses. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Certainly at club level a player who is good with active pieces should consider openings such as the Tarrasch which offer excellent play for the expense of a pawn.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Black immediately challenges the centre, and after 4.cxd5 exd5 we will have a position where white can give black an isolated queen's pawn. In fact, positions with an isolated queen's pawn for black were those championed by Kasparov on his way to the World Championship in 1984.(more)' See <a href="http://gorkachc.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/hennig-schara-gambit.html">whole article</a></span></span></div>
