The White Sniper

Charlie Storey følger opp suksessen sin med "Sniper"-åpningen, og nå tryggere med de hvite brikkene: g3, Lg2 og c4. Gir overgang til mange ulike åpninger, som du ser i innholdet. Dette takles elegant, og Storey har nå også tatt et IM-napp.

Her er 6 timer 40 minutters DVD-gjennomgang av et nytt og passe utfordrende åpningsrepertoar! Men kanskje ikke så passende for alle motspillere.

ChessBase sin egen omtale:

The White Sniper is characterised by three moves against any black setup: 1.g3 2.Bg2 and 3.c4 though not necessarily in that order. Think of The White Sniper as a Hyper- Accelerated Sicilian Dragon against anything that Black plays. The White Sniper has stealthy surprising power and is super-sound – even more sound than The Black Sniper – and yet avoids the most analysed theory of 1.d4 openings, making it an excellent choice to play for a win.

The White Sniper practitioners’ philosophy is to avoid known drawish theory, whilst keeping a small advantage and stopping Black from having any dangerous counterplay. I prefer to play The White Sniper with 1.g3, allowing Black the option of a large pawn centre with e5 and d5. However, when starting out with the White Sniper learn it first with 1.c4 to cut down on what you need to know.

This opening and the Black Sniper recently helped me to secure an International Master Norm at the 2019 British Chess Championship. In the White Sniper FritzTrainer I have ‘Deep Dived’ with the engine, normally to at least depth 30, to help guide my opinions and suggestions.
