Message: found by simply doing a google search for the Advanced Specific Phrase of "old indian defense" , which is how I found these which were part of that search. *** RE: The Old Indian, one of its main functions is for use against players of the Samisch WT variation, which it is supposed to discourage. One can see in the game given last below, that black can come to attack very quickly from the Old Indian. (Tho my MCO 14 calls it a stodgy but solid system, hard to beat. :) *****  en.wikipedia.org

He is one of the best chess players the United States has ever produced. As good as he is, it has probably been a very long time, if ever, since he played a game like the one he was involved in on Wednesday night. Nakamura was playing in the quarterfinals of the United States Chess League for the Seattle Sluggers and his team faced the Miami Sharks, who are led by Julio Becerra. Becerra is unquestionably a good chess player. He is a grandmaster and he is ranked No. 477 in the world among ... Kramnik Retains Lead at Tal Memorial; Carlsen Notches First Win -- With one round to go in the Tal Memorial chess tournament in Moscow, Vladimir Kramnik of Russia holds a half-point lead over Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, and Vassily Ivanchuk of Ukraine. Magnus Carlsen of Norway is alone in fourth after beating Ruslan Ponomariov in Round 8. Kramnik has held the lead since Round 6, despite being held to draws in the last two games. In Round 8, he launched a sacrificial attack against Peter Leko of Hungary, but Leko was never in any real danger and simply returned the extra material to achieve a balanced position, after which Kramnik forced a draw by perpetual check.
