Forcing Chess Moves

Oct-11-05    notyetagm: Yermolisnky has a book coming out from GAMBIT on the Classical Sicilian and will cover B57 I believe. Get more information about this book at http://badbishop.com/gambit/books/c.... Feb-05-06    Isolani: From my perspective it seems that 6...b6 has become increasingly popular recently. White is having more success lately with 8.f4 than with the traditional 8.O-O after the common 7b3 e6 moves are played.
