 It's funny that in tournaments Maroszy Bind was never played as white by Maroczy himself! blitz.pnggrin.png

Honestly, in the Maroczy lines of the HA Dragon, Black's position is sound, but it's very hard to play and probably is not objectively great for Black anyway.

 

Black can play d6 and it becomes somewhat similar to Modern Defense lines. Personally, I like to play it as black. happy.png

Against most typical Maroczy positions, Most GMs prefer the Hedghog line, with pawns at a6, b6, d6, and e6...B@b7, Q@c8

That's a good way to get slaughtered against me, but it'll do very well against most other players.

 

LOL

p.s. -- I know more about the Maroczy Bind than any player in history.  I can play it blindfolded at this point..  Those who know I play into it get one chance to guess which line I use (HINT: the best one isn't even on most people's radar), and then they'll have to improvise against my additional 15-20 moves of preparation. 

Im on

y a 1600, and I have played and won lots of games blindfolded...

its no big deal, so if your going to brag, I'd suggest doing it on something else...

I'd like to see how well you do playing the Maroczy bind as white against Magnus Carlsen....

Regular hedgehog system is best answer to maroczy bind, maroczy bind vs hyper accelerated dragon is much more difficult for black to defend, some strong players played like a5 a4 and put pressure on the c pawn against me (after developing their pieces of course) and later beat me, maybe that's the way to go.

The Maroczy Bind has to be one of the most annoying openings ever, and it squeezes black into terror. Here is a solution.

Now white is perplexed by the position, and black is tactically better.

In Sicilian it's not Boleslavsky Wall but Boleslavsky Hole ! blitz.pnggrin.png

I don't think you know the difference between the Bind and the Wall.  The most important difference is the Bind has a half open c file, the Wall has a half open e file.   See if you can explain why that makes a difference.

The "Bolseslavsky Wall" structure is this one:

 

So, he is right: The possibility to have a Sicilian with a pawn at c6 is really thin!

I never posted that Black should try to achieve the Boleslavsky wall formation.  I posted:"...In order to calculate  a solution to  the Maroczy Bind,  you must first understand the difference between the Maroczy Bind and the Boleslavsky Wall..."

IM pfren: Really thin LoL it's impossible (unless white sacrifices 2 men on c6 and d6, that's true). wink.png
