It's really a line of the Two Knights with d4. You should be able to find a few posts on it at my blog. I think you can find good coverage of it from several current books, though I think the best stuff was in NIC Yearbook by Gurevich and Glek back in 2000. I like Acers's discussion in his Italian Gambit System. And there is always Dzindzi's stuff, including the 1.e4 White repertoire book with Alburt and Perelshtyn.Michael Goellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14512012158305281566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844144.post-82402041878281251852011-02-24T09:43:33.114-05:002011-02-24T09:43:33.114-05:00I think you are right that Bg4 is a problem. that...I think you are right that Bg4 is a problem. that is probably why you cannot find many games where White allows it. You should just play Nxd4.Michael Goellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14512012158305281566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844144.post-90085018961584957972011-02-24T08:25:52.567-05:002011-02-24T08:25:52.567-05:00Bg4!

But luckily my opponent didnt try it. <br /><br />I was looking at what happens after Nxd4 though and the best move for white is then Be3 !? in my opinion. <br /><br />do you know where I can find some games here - it seems theres a Svidler game with o-o and then others with Bd7, but I only found 1 or 2 of these. <br /><br />I am not sure of an official name for this line, but it is the best for white I think in a Usurov that transposes.<br /><br />thanks for all your info anyway!<br /><br />lukelukehttp://www.fianchetto.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844144.post-1127692186795430672005-09-25T19:49:00.000-04:002005-09-25T19:49:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
