It’s a very aggressive for black😡
Aggressive line in the Myers Defense
Sort:
It may have the same concept of the Sicilian Dragon of being sharp but you play a hypermodern opening instead. Developing to Nc6 might be a lose of tempo for Black after being threatened by White's pawn at b5. It's a good idea to sink into because I do plan to play g5 as Black's first move against g3 by White.
Hello fellow chess players,
Quite recently I have come up with this rather aggressive line for both sides in the Myers Defense, and I'd like some comments on it, e.g. if the line looks reliable enough to be played in a real game, despite the fact that the opening itself is very uncommon, and whether you like the line.
Here it is (can be acquired by move swaps, of course):
I consider that black is somewhat better, despite the fact the fianchettoed bishop on g7 is blocking the rook somewhat, but has potential for a discovered attack.
As continuation I found 15... hxg3 16. fxg3 f4! Quite strong. It is a pawn sacrifice to get rid of the g-pawn, to unleash the power of the g-rook very soon. Plus, 17... f3 is threatened, in which black wins a piece.
How about it? I am looking forward to some comments and ideas.
See you around!
Kind regards,
Player8-CHAMPION.
