Dear all, First sorry for my poor English. I have a question about the Petroff. After 1. e4 e5, 2. Kf3 Kf6, 3. Kxe5 d6, 4. Kf3 Kxe4 the move 5. Kc3 is played in modern tournaments (Corus 2006). I haven't played much last years. I haven't the most up to date opening literature. In the book: Winning with the Petroff, Anatoly Karpov, London 1993. the move isn't discussed. Could anyone inform me about who (re-)introduced this line in modern tournement play? What are the statistics of this line? Thanks in Advance, Jan Vente Berkenwoude The Netherlands

For example look at Topalov's recent games: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1385789 http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1387492 http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1333289 http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1338699 Statistics are not an accurate way of evaluating openings.

First of all the "K" in English is = King. The "N" is the Knight. According to Chessbase, that move has been played frequently from the early 1900's. I'm surprised your book doesn't mention it.
