new ideas for White , 1 Nc3!? move 1

a short post for fellow members.

Sometimes with White we want a fresh game

What did @firouzja2003 do ?

1 Nc3!?

in Classical Chess, he won against Nepo

But in rapid this week, he won against Vishy Anand

What is Firouzja idea ? playing 0-0-0 with attack with opposite side castle. Risky but sharp !

Perfect for his style

Ok but what if Black would play 1..e5

This is what I think Firouzja would play

you may say its the italian ?

But White hasn't played Nf3 so white can play Ne2 and Ng3

Here's a game for you to look at

and here Nakamura's game

I've found in my games the line played vs him in the first 2 games (cxd then a6) solid for black. I think I've played mostly Bf5 and just e6, not Bg5 so will check that move out.

I guess vs Firouzja nothing is ''safe and solid''.
