Annotated by legspin (1918): Annotated by legspin - enjoy (I hope) Annotated by legspin. This is the first game I have annotated. I picked this one due to a rook sacrifice later in the game which I thought people may find interesting. I am not a grandmaster (or anywhere near), I have not memorised all openings. I do refer to a book for openings and I am not as good over the board as on this site. However, I do think… |

Annotated by mybookrunsdeep (1431): I am not an e4 player, but as this is a thematic Sicilian, and I am a Sicilian devotee for life, I jumped in feet first. This game features a Shveshnikov Sicilian, which my opponent plays well in the beginning, however, loses the thread and his game quickly falls apart. The mating attack at the end is quite amazing. Just your typical open Sicilian. Not your typical approach to the Shvesh!… |

Annotated by freedom_fries (1963): An experiment I've tried a few times. After this game, not planning to repeat. The d5 square is just too weak.
Exclam. Keeping the bishop in order to exploit black's weak white squares. The most common move, 7. Bxd7, trades if off for no good reason.
White's advantage is also clear after 8… Nc5 9. Bd5
Both 12… Be7 and 12… Bg7 can be answered by 13. Ng4, after… |

Annotated by sicilianunleash (1221): Notes by Kazekage Talkin' I'm playing black in this game, and, of course i play sicilian c5! is the most popular reply to e4. i just play it because it looks cool but technically speaking...this move takes initiative in fighting for center. Nf3, Nc3, Bf4 are all playable. All of them contribute to fight for the center Sicilian!! this move stops the advancing of the White's e pawn and looks cool … |

Annotated by sarasani (1868): B95: Sicilian Najdorf: 6 Lg5 e6
A friendly game I played on playchess.com. Usually black plays 4...Nf6 and 5...a6 The Sicilian Najdorf is my favourite reponse to 1.e4 Last 'bookmove'. It's more common to castle here, but I decided to put some more pressure against the e4-pawn. An interesting alternative variation would be 10. Bxe6!? fxe6 11. Nxe6 Qd7 12. Nxg7 Kf8 and white would… |
