A Head Start: Bologan on the improved Chebanenko

12/8/2012 – The variation arises after the moves 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 a6. The Moldavan grandmaster Viktor Bologan, himself a pupil of Vecheslav Chebanenko, says that it is not easy for White to gain an advantage against the Chebanenko. His DVD aims to give new life to this already popular opening, which is played at a very high level, including by Magnus Carlsen. Chess Cafe review.
