Its the kan not khan, u got the move order wrong in opening - and you consulted books and games 🙁 ?
the Kia is better line vs kan - punish that bad bishop!
Hi Robbie.
Just skipped through it. A Maroczy Bind.
Your 21. Bxa6 looks OK at first glance.
Let's look at the position before it's played.
The d8 Rook goes to d8 and then the Knight has a discovered attack on the Queen.
The Black player is not too bad perhaps he had something planned for you.
Looks interesing.
Here.
You chopped the Queens straight into a lost ending.
34.Qe5 makes it harder for Black to convert his extra queenside pawn.
Rule of thumb, never trade Queens if you are behind in material.

interesting, its one of those games i really enjoyed, although I lost. As for the queen
trade it appeared to me that at the time I had no choice although Qe5 ..Qc2, Qb8+
does look interesting. Ach well, we live and learn!

Please tell me why is it 'both positionaly and strategically superior'?
source of his counter play in the Sicilian, the KIA does nothing to prevent this, yes you
heard me, nada! It also gives white more space for his pieces in the centre. Now let
us compare these tangible realities with the vague and unrealised assertion of play
against the queens bishop and i believe as i have stated that the bind is better, you will
now state why the KIA is better or admit that i am awesome.

Hi Robbie.
I meant the c8 Rook after 21. Bxa6 goes to d8.

I cannot see anything right away.
Be interesting to see what Pacifique had planned because 21.Bxa6 does look OK
even use the analysis board, i just imagined the queen on a7 forking my two pieces
and that was the end of the variation for me, hmm, pity that!

Originally posted by robbie carrobieHi Robbie. After Qa7, I can't see much wrong with Bb5, pinning the knight. That was my immediate response; further analysis may prove me wrong!
