Wilkes-Barre Furor
The next thematic tournament is a very interesting line of the Sicilian poisoned pawn variation : 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Bg5 e6 7.f4 Qb6 8.Qd2 Qxb2 9.Rb1 Qa3 10.e5

If you want to play a "one-game" match with Ilmars, you may try in Advanced chess tournaments >> Bronze lightning .. and play Traxler, if you don't care about your blitz chess rating :) .. or Thematic lightning but with entry fee & prize (10 E-Points) & White must win rule.

Wilkes-Barre Furor
Thanks for this wealth of responses, all. Thanks too for the tip on Ilmars' analysis. I will check it out. Thibault, what is the next thematic tournament for which you need five more players? Ilmars, I would love to play a game with you as white, me as black. Being new to FICGS, I'm not exactly sure how to start a game with you . . . ?

Wilkes-Barre/Traxler, anyone?
I prefer black but I will take what I can get. 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 Bc5

Traxler/Wilkes-Barre
Hello Steve.
We had 2 Traxler thematic tournaments already :)

Maybe we'll have another one (or double round-robin, why not) :)

Traxler/Wilkes-Barre
I have heard from many players of a wide range of strength that the Traxler is busted for Black. The trouble is, none of them appear to have proof. A few years ago, I played in a Traxler thematic in IECG. I had a great time, learned a lot, and managed second place overall. My own assessment is: unclear, but Black is probably OK. So, why not have a Traxler thematic tournament here on FICGS, to settle the matter once and for all. :D Maybe it could be a double round robin, to be fair to those who feel that one side or the other has the advantage. I would sign on for such a tournament. Nice Latvian, btw.

e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bc4 Nf6 Ng5 Bc5
Czech problemist Karel Traxler played first 4...Bc5!? in Reinisch–Traxler, Prague 1890.
Marshall analyzed the variation and named it after the town Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Today this variation is known as both the Traxler Variation and the Wilkes-Barre Variation.
Traxler counter-attack is rarely played at a grandmaster level, but Beliavsky and Shirov have played it occasionally, sometimes in top competition.

e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bc4 Nf6 Ng5 d5
This is the most common response. Bc5!? leads to the Wilkes-Barre Variation, also known as the Traxler Counter-Attack, which can lead to hair-splitting complications.
