Hello,
	There is a new post on The Chess Mind.  You can read it at:

http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1171475526.shtml

It begins:

	Is the Advance Variation against the Caro-Kann
	(1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.e5) an attacking system? It is
	on many of its most popular interpretations (e.g.
	3…Bf5 4.Nc3 e6 5.g4), but in the early 1990s
	British GM and 1993 World Championship finalist
	Nigel Short devised a slower system (4.Nf3 e6 5.Be2
	followed by O-O, c3 and Be3 in some order). You
	might expect that since this week’s game,
	Short-Ljubojevic, Amsterdam 1991, demonstrates that
	variation in action, the play will be comparatively
	quiet. And you’d be right…up to a point....
