1...b6 has never really been considered as a respectable opening, but there
is far more to this relatively unexplored move than meets the eye. The recent
game V.Bologan-A.Martin gives ample food for thought!
A damning article in New In Chess Yearbook 76 paints a very poor portrait of
Black's chances after 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qd6 4.d4 Nf6 5.Nf3
a6 6.g3
In Wednesday's show Andrew Martin offers his improvements on that article
and shows the right way for Black to play. The result is a must-listen for
Scandinavian fans!
Add the usual book reviews, a competition, some comments on the wonderful Fritz
9 and the final product is worth your full attention!
For this Wednesday only, the show will take place later at 11:00 pm GMT,
12 midnight CET. From next week on, the time will revert to the normal 7.30
pm.
