Talk:Chess Opening Theory/1. e4/1...c5/2. Nf3/2...g6

The 3.d4 line is =, not +=, and 4.Qxd4 isn't very good (=+), rather play Nxd4. In case of Qxd4, trying to exploit g6 with Nf6, Nf6 is still good. After 5.e5 Nc6 followed by Nd5 is perfectly fine for black.

Main line is : 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 g6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6 5.Nc3 Bg7 6.Be3 Nf6 7.Bc4 O-O 8.Bb3 a5 9.f3 d5 (although d6 is playable).

I'm not knowledgeable enough on the c4/c3 lines though to comment. Ploucroux (discuss • contribs) 13:40, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Ok, so I did some research, used engines and databases, and edited the page with the 5.Nc3 and 5.c4 main lines. Ploucroux (discuss • contribs) 10:50, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Added some more on the Maroczy, as the research goes. Ploucroux (discuss • contribs) 18:34, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
