More Left Hook Grand Prix Games

By master

I have been analyzing More Games with the Left Hook Grand Prix (1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.a3!?), two of which cover the critical variations following 5…e6 6.b4!? (White’s “left hook” punch — though 6.d4 is also interesting): 6….d5 (hitting back immediately in the center) and 6…b6 (refusing to give up the center even to gain a pawn). I especially enjoyed looking at Igor Glek – Daniel Stellwagen, Wattenscheid GER 2007, which I had previously discounted but which I now consider one of the most important games for Left Hook theory. And I couldn’t resist throwing in some of my own games, including a few I’ve played at my new favorite play site Buho21 (where I should soon break the 2200 barrier playing as “urusov”).
