Be2 Nb6 (11.f5 12.d5! gives White a plus according to Chesspub.

Chesspub vaguely recommended 11.Nb6 which I tested in the Dresden Olympiad:ġ. e5 is any good - now 10 d5 Nd4 11 Nd4 ed 12 Bd4 Ne4 seems to work, and I guess after 12 Qd4 Black has sufficient comp.?ġ1.Be2 is indeed a strong move and has been played several times since the release of Richard's book. e5 12 d5 Nd4 doesn't work (nor I think does 10. f5 12 0-0! (12 d5 Na5!? is less clear?) is good for White and that 11. Grrr, I foolishly assumed that the 11 Be2 idea was new rather than being in Richard Palliser's book, so spent an hour and a half working out for myself that 11. Not what we are looking for when we play 2.Nc6! :D Nd4 whenever possible or else there is a risk of the position turning into some form of inferior KID. After 10.d5 Ne7 11.Qd2 Kh7, White can play 12.g4! with a sizeable advantage. Seems to me it's just a one-tempo down KID. I've no idea who Recuero is though - I've noticed that a player isn't necessarily untitled just because ChessLive doesn't indicate he/she is!Īfter 12.Kh7 13.c5, Black is probably hard pressed to play 13.dc 14.dc Nd7 when White might have something after 15.Qc2 but nothing much.ĩ.e5?! is just dubious IMHO.

I'd be interested to know if you reckon White's play here can be improved on. e5 was just that it's been successfully played against a GM (in the game Ramesh-Recuero, given on ChessLive). Kh7 13 c5, which looks strong to me - but am I missing something?
