| Feb 15, 2014 at 4:56 | comment | added | AlwaysLearningNewStuff | I have edited my answer by adding my conclusion at the very bottom. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find anything else on the Keres attack. Best regards. | |

| Feb 14, 2014 at 15:26 | comment | added | user2001 | @ThunderGr I prefer the terms "static" and "dynamic". Where the static usually refers to the pawn structure (pawns cannot move backwards). While dynamic refers to the dynamic possibilities of a position. The decision g2-g4 is a static one that is creating dynamic opportunities. Thus, it has static drawbacks (pawn structure, weaker light squares (g2, f3, h3) and dark squares (f4 and h4). | |
| Feb 14, 2014 at 14:49 | comment | added | ThunderGr | "Strategically" as opposed to "tactically" :). Position evaluation is one of the most heated things in chess ;). | |
| Feb 14, 2014 at 14:46 | comment | added | user2001 | @ThunderGr by strategically, do you mean statically? Strategy can be viewed from many angles. Cheers. | |
| Feb 14, 2014 at 14:44 | comment | added | ThunderGr | this variation leads to a hell of a game. It is a good one to test your ability and your opponent, in my opinion, but you'd better be good at calculating because, strategically, it has no merit at all. | |

added the *scheveningen* tag since it already existed

| Feb 7, 2014 at 14:56 | comment | added | user2001 | @AlwaysLearningNewStuff This variation can also occur via the Sicilian Najdorf. Yes, I have been looking for a good (modern) book for the topic, but I haven't found one yet that is to my liking. I am an 1.e4 player but I haven't used the Keres Attack that often. I might add an answer to this question myself, after doing a bit more research. | |

Unfortunately I am not 1.e4 player but still wish to help. Have yo tried to find some literature on this? I could look up for some resources but I need you to help me a little: Is this attack happening in the Sheveningen line only or in other lines as well ( Najdorf and so on )? I just need to narrow down my search that's all. Hopefully I will be able to help. Best regards and good luck.
