Agreed The Maroczy Varaition is VERY hard for Black to equalise against!!

Moving on to lines for white surely 2 c3 delays or completely stops everyone of the main attacking lines for black.

Yeah but it is hardly the most ambitious choice. Black can equalise fairly easily. As many of my OTB have proved.


Note: Watch Korch come to the defence of 2.c3

I have played c3 several times at club level and been quite succesful with it but I do find myself making up m own lines quite often. Does anyone know if there are concrete lines that can be played after c3 or is improvisation the best policy?

There are concrete lines for everything. Look them up on chessbase or chessgames.com
