The Black Sniper is back – sharper and deadlier than ever! This dynamic system (1...g6, 2...Bg7, 3...c5 against 1.e4, 1.d4 and 1.c4) creates unpredictable, high-pressure positions, leaving opponents struggling to adapt.

The Ragozin is being played by every top grandmaster in the world - it is time you also add it to your repertoire to get interesting and dynamic positions against 1. d4! GM Alejandro Ramirez analyses every single move that White can play once the Ragozin is reached, but due to several transpositional possibilities he always emphasises strategic goals to keep in mind.

I do remember that the march of Napoleon to Russia was a little unfortunate? Only 75,000 of the 600,000 men who went to conquer returned to France in November 1812.

Go Ukraine! Putin may or may not be Hitler. However I am sure for the moment all Ukrainians are glad that Putin is no Napoleon.
On the subject of chess, what Mishra is doing is quite exciting. We should be looking for him in the A tournaments in the not too distant future.

Agree with arzi. Many great chess players, past & present, have come from the Ukraine and many are there currently.

To Keith Homeyard, unfortunately the players in Ukraine may not have time to discuss the chess moves. When a man or woman has grown too old he usually wants to hide his/hers head in the sand not to see evil of the world. He/she has already seen so much. Yes, St Louis is so far away of Ukraine, I get your point. Maybe after two weeks and few millions refugees, thousands deaths of the war, we can focus only on chess?
