PAWN RIOT VS The Forum Move 5

I still vote for a6 though!

I like the flexibility that 5...a6 has to offer,

5...a6 for me Paul

Sveshnikov arises after 2...Nc6 NOT 2...d6

I would like either 5...e6 (Scheveningen) or 5...Nc6 (Classical) but as it will probably be between 5...g6 or 5...a6 I will go for..............................

[b]5...a6[/b]

g6

I've had many good and bad games with the dragon. On the one hand, allowing the Yugoslav is walking into the most tactical, theoretical buzz saw we could. On the other hand, we have a good chance to get some nice analysis in as a group. That kind of tactical do or die position may be our best chance against such a strong player as PAWN RIOT. I'm all for walking into the dragon's fire.
Burn Baby Burn !!!

5. ... g6

* The Sicilian that I have used the most at this site is the Taimanov, but it is not possible here.

e5

5) ..., e6

I would like to see a "collective" Najdorf against a strong player. I vote
5....a6

5...g6.

You are in a club that is all about solving and composing chess problems and you don't want to enter the tactical realm of the dragon? 😲
