FM Egor Lashkin (FIDE Rating 2459) has just published his newest in-depth theoretical research - Principled Repertoire against Vienna and Ragozin. Providing an opening repertoire for White against two of the most respectable responses to 1.e4, requires hard work, subtle understanding, and a lot of dedication. After analyzing the arising positions for months, FM Lashkin managed to create practical problems for Black in all directions. Sometimes, his in-depth analysis goes to the endgame! And what is even more astonishing, the author also explains how we could put pressure in the arising endgame positions.

The current database consists of 8 very huge theoretical chapters, 10 model games, a Memory Booster, and 15 interactive test positions.

The starting position of this course is reached after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6
Khalifman invested a lot of time and energy into this project. After many months of investigations, he got fully convinced that Taimanov Variation is working fine from a conceptual point of view. During your work on the material, you will find many fresh ideas and new directions in well-known critical positions. According to Khalifman, Taimanov is very suitable for players who want to play for a win. In his opinion, compared to the other Sicilian mainlines, Taimanov is less theoretical.
