Chess Training Repertoire Moves 4: Chess Training Repertoire, #4

Introduction to the Fourth Edition

Do you love chess openings? Are you an experienced player who reads English algebraic notation? Want a repertoire to play 200 chess openings from either side? If yes, this is for you.

Author Tim Sawyer spent four years compiling this collection of Chess Opening Repertoire Moves 4 for his use. You can enjoy it too. This fourth edition has grown to 200 opening variations for White and Black. This book revises and replaces the older versions that had 50, 100, or 150 opening repertoires.

This book has no diagrams and no explanations. The book is not for chess beginners unless they learn chess opening notation.

Why can you trust the variations given in this book? You don’t have to. Tim Sawyer has decades of experience using openings, databases and chess engines. Tim chose lines that he trusts.

Here’s the step by step process that Tim Sawyer used to choose the moves for these 200 opening variations:

First, he made sure to cover the most popular moves.

Second, he looked to see what the masters prefer to play.

Third, he checked the analysis of reliable chess engines.

Fourth, he leaned toward deeper chess engine analysis.

Fifth, he added obvious moves that chess engines ignore.

Sixth, he presented an overall unified approach for each side.

Seventh, he covered his favorite openings more than others.

Opening repertoires include Grob, Sokolsky, Bird’s Opening From Gambit, English Opening, Trompowsky, Benko, Benoni, Dutch, Nimzowitsch, Scandinavian, Alekhine, Pirc, Caro-Kann, Sicilian, French, Kings Gambit, Latvian, Elephant, Evans Gambit, Philidor, Petroff, Scotch, Four Knights, Italian Game, Ruy Lopez, BDG, London System, Chigorin, Albin Counter, Slav, Semi-Slav, Queens Gambit Accepted and Declined, Gruenfeld, Catalan, Queens Indian, Nimzo-Indian, and King’s Indian Defence.

This Chess Training Repertoire Moves 4 expands and updates the older version of the author’s Chess Training Repertoire 3.

Layout and Symbols

The book is laid out in Encyclopedia of Chess Openings order volumes A (30 lines), B (48 lines), C (52 lines), D (38 lines), and E (32 lines). Half the book is dedicated to 1.e4 openings. A two line listing of each variation appears at the front of each chapter.

For separate BDG theory, see Blackmar-Diemer Theory 3 & 4.

Multiple chess engines evaluated all the lines found in this book. Stockfish, Komodo, Houdini, Fritz, Rybka and many others were frequently consulted as well as a dozen others. Analysis was often 20-40 ply deep. The author gave preference to the latest versions of these chess engines and to deeper analysis.

The symbols used allow a range of seven possible evaluations. Here is an explanation of what these symbols mean in this book.

+-

White has an advantage equivalent to two pawns or more.

+/-

White has an advantage roughly equivalent to one pawn.

+/=

White has a slight advantage but not yet a winning one.

=

Position is equal in material, or there is adequate compensation.

=/+

Black has a slight advantage but not yet a winning one.

-/+

Black has an advantage roughly equivalent to one pawn.

-+

Black has an advantage equivalent to two pawns or more.

Chapter 1 – Flank Opening Repertoire

Chapter 1

A00 Grob 1.g4 is almost sound for White, but the Borg 1...g5 (Grob backwards) is dangerous for Black being a move behind.

A00 Sokolsky or Polish Opening 1.b4. A queenside wing attack. White plays Bb2. Black seeks a strategy that works tactically.

A01 Larsen Opening 1.b3 leads to a fight over the dark squares when plays continues 1...e5 2.Bb2. Chances are equal.

A02 Bird’s Openings From Gambit 1.f4 e5 2.fxe5 Black sacrifices to attack and gets some compensation in return for the pawn.

A03 Bird’s Opening Leningrad 1.f4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.g3 sees White play with an extra move as being Black in A88 Dutch Leningrad.

A03 Bird’s Opening Classical 1.f4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3. White takes control of e5. Black makes a challenge for e4 and d4.

A05 Kings Indian Attack 1.Nf3 Nf6 transposes to the lines after 2.g3, 3.Bg2, 4.0-0, 5.d3 intending 6.e4 vs lines without 1...d5.

A06 Reti Opening 1.Nf3 d5 2.b3 resembles a Queens Indian Defence in Reverse with an extra move.

A08 Reti Opening 1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 is a Kings Indian Attack. This opening may transpose to lines 1.e4 in the Sicilian or French.

A09 Reti Opening 1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 may continue 2...d4 3.b4. White plays a reversed Benoni Defence. Black builds a strong center.

A11 English Opening Slav 1.c4 c6. White avoids the Slav proper with 3.b3 or 3.g3. Black might try ...Bf5, ...Bg4, ...e6, or ...g6.

A16 English Opening Indian 1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 g6 allows Black to set up a Kings Indian Defence d6 or a Gruenfeld d5 formation.

A19 English Opening Indian 1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 e6. Black invites a Nimzo-Indian or Queens Gambit, but White refuses with 3.e4.

A25 English Opening 1.c4 e5 2.g3 leads to a Hyper-Accelerated Dragon Sicilian Defence in reverse with an extra move.

A26 English Closed 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g3 is a Closed Sicilian Defence reversed. Play might continue 3...g6 4.Bg2 Bg7 5.d3.

A29 English Opening Four Knights 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Nf3 Nc6 develops in ways that can resemble a Sicilian Defence reversed.

A33 English Opening 1.c4 c5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 allows White either Bg2 or Be2. Black targets the d5 and c3 squares.

A39 English Opening Symmetrical Variation 1.c4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g3 allows White (and Black) to influence the board by bishops.

A45 Trompowsky 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 White threatens the knight to double the Black f-pawns. Black can either allow it or prevent it.

A48 London System vs the Kings Indian Defence (KID) 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Bf4 pits White’s solid game vs Black’s dynamic play.

A52 Budapest Gambit 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 Ng4 gives Black active piece play in compensation for the extra White pawn.

A59 Benko Gambit 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 b5. Black attacks the pawns. Perfectly play for a long time might give White an edge.

A64 Benoni Fianchetto 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6 4.Nc3 exd5 5.cxd5 d6 6.Nf3 g6 7.g3. Bg2 supports center. Black wants ...b5.

A69 Benoni Defence 4 Pawns 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6 4.Nc3 exd5 5.cxd5 d6 6.e4 g6 7.f4 gives White a big center as in E76.

A79 Modern Benoni Defence 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6 4.Nc3 exd5 5.cxd5 d6 6.e4 g6 7.Nf3 gives White space vs Black’s Bg7.

A80 Dutch Defence BDG 1.d4 f5 2.Nc3 d5 3.e4 dxe4 transposes to the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit line 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Nc3 f5.

A83 Dutch Defence Staunton Gambit 1.d4 f5 2.e4 White attacks weak points to win quickly. Black gains a valuable extra pawn.

A88 Dutch Defence Leningrad 1.d4 f5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.0-0 0-0 6.c4 blends the Dutch with Kings Indian Defence.

A90 Dutch Defence Stonewall 1.d4 f5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 e6 4.c4 d5 lets Black play ...Bd6 or ...Be7. White controls the hole on e5.

A97 Dutch Defence Classical Variation 1.d4 f5 2.c4 Black plays ...e6, usually with ...d6 instead of ...d5. White has more space.
