Got a game tommorrow, 20 hrs from now and I expect this line to be played against me. I will have Black.

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Qxd4 Nc6 5.Bb5 Bd7 6.Bxc6 Bxc6 7.Nc3 Nf6 8.Bg5 e6 9.0-0-0 Be7 10.e5

Pete Tam, from opening from amatuers recommened this or something similar but I was looking on their website but coudlnt' find his lecture notes. Anyone have the link to it?

Kasp, fisher, topolov, shirov + other have has Black in this position after 9...Be7 so black must be okay. I'm going to look through those games in a db to get ideas.

But does anyone have any ideas for black against this opening? I don't got much time so any help would be great.

Pete said it's called the Chekover Attack but he didn't post the link. Anyone have the notes for this?

It's alright. Pete didn't put his lecture notes up for this opening on his site.

Thanks though.
