Who else likes the Chigorin like me? It's a very dinamic opening, black give up the bishop pair for piece activity. Chigorin was one of the most creative players of his times, and IMO this opening is very interesting. Now I can't study too much opening theory because I have to focus on other things, so I know just a few theory, but when I'll start to concentrate on openings this will be one of the first defenses I'd like to study. What do you think?
