6/27/2008 11:03:13 play online chess | Subject: The Lion System
Message: Hi there,
Has anyone played the Lion System similar in some ways to the Pirc or Philidore.
Apparently you can play it as black against almost any opening chosen by white.
I would be interested in anyone's views as it looks an interesting opening to adopt.
Black would play the following moves.
1---d6 2.---Nf6---- 3. Nd7--- 4.----e5 5.--- Be7 6.---O-O 7.---c6 etc.
Does anyone play this regularly ? What are the aims of this opening for the Middlegame ?
I look forward to your replies.

Message: It seems the Lion is very playable and has a pretty decent record on GK.
I've been meaning to give it a try myself but ... so many openings; so little time... ;-)

Message: Here's a very good link, IMO: www.vanrekom.nl
I play this from time to time. It's not bad, but sort of ends up cramped. Because of that, I find myself reacting more to white's moves. I guess that the general plan is to get uncramped? Black has built up a solid position, so try not to ruin that while still opening up.

Chess news:
Barden on Chess -- Two decades ago London chess had numerous sponsors - three banks, two stockbrokers, the Evening Standard newspaper and several IT firms. Now the Staunton Memorial grandmaster chess tournament is the only survivor and that is financed by a Dutchman, the multi-millionaire Jan Mol who lives in the UK. The Staunton has its quirks. The venue is historic Simpson's in the Strand, one of the great centres of European chess in the late nineteenth century, where Howard Staunton himself played. The Victorian was briefly the world No1 in the 1840s, a prolific author and a Shakespearian scholar. Spectators have free entry and this week they could watch England's best-ever chess duo, Michael Adams and ...
Dick Cavett recalls interviews with Bobby Fischer -- Brickbats and bouquets were tossed at Bobby Fischer after he died of kidney failure at 64. "He was a great man with tragic flaws who was persecuted by his own country," I noted in Chess Life. Talk show host Dick Cavett interviewed him three times on TV and recalled: "I became quite fond of him. It seems strange to remember there was once a chess champion, of all things, who was probably the most famous celebrity on earth. "His long-anticipated chess match with Russia's Boris Spassky was watched worldwide as if it were the Super Bowl, except it was publicized as a Cold War battle and drew a much bigger audience. Time out of mind the Soviet chess dynasty had reigned ...
Send in the pawns -- An England junior chess team is competing with success at the World Under 16 Chess Olympiad at Mersin in Turkey. Despite being younger than most of the other chess teams and considerably out-rated by many, the team climbed as high at joint fourth before succumbing to a very highly rated chess team from Azerbaijan. The ninth round won’t provide any respite as their next opponents are the Philippines who have the world’s youngest GM, Wesley So, on top board. England are represented by Yang Fan Zhou, Callum Kilpatrick, Felix Ynojosa, Subin Sen and Elliot Auckland. Peter Leko joined Alexander Morozevich at the head of the Tal Chess Memorial at Moscow after five of ...
