In answer to a thread called:
System against the sicilian needed...
Why?
You can only sympathise witll the Sicilian player.
He plays 1...c5 and has no idea what is coming.
2 Nc3 closed
2.f4 Grand Prix
2.b4 Wing Gambit
2. g3 that crap
2.Bc4! The Hooray I'm not going to g2 variation.
2.d4 the Morra
2.c4 The Moroczy Bind
2.d3 Reversed English.
2.a4 The Scud (play it like a reversed Enlgish)
2.c3 The c3 Sicilian
2. Bd3 The Kopec System
2.Qh5 The Nak Attack
2.Ne2 Keres - idea to play 3 d4 and 4. Nxd4 but it always gains time on the clock.
And that is only on move two without even mentioning 2.Nf3.
And the bust is.....
2.Bb5 The Spiderman
I'll talk you through it bit by bit.
2...a6
They won't be able to resist this.
Their dream is if 3.Ba4 then 3...b5 traps the Bishop.
3.Bc4 b5
4.Bxf7+ ...
This is what we proper chess players call a sacrifice.
4...Kxf7
5.Qh5+ g6
5...Kf6 or 5...Ke6 and Black is mated.
Incredibly in Game 4456453 dajackal - VadimGorovoy RHP 2008
Black played 5...Ke6 and dajackal missed 6.Qd5+ and 7.Qf5 mate.
The game dragged on for 63 moves ending in a white win.
6.Qd5+ ....
That is it the first part over with...Now does the White Queen get trapped on a8?
6...e6
7.Qxa8 Qc7
8.d3!
Important move. Getting the Bishop out and you must keep the a1-h8 diagonal free.
8 .... Bb7
9.Bf4! ....
See the idea. The Black Queen is tied to defending the b7 Bishop.
A tactical theme that is exploited throughout the whole game.
9...e6
10 Qa7 ....
Now if 10...Nc6 then 11. Qxc5 and the d-pawn is pinned.
Analysis
and if then 11...e5 12.Qc3 and the e-pawn is pinned.
Analysis
See now the importance of keeping a1-h8 diagonal clear.
(if 12...b4 then 13.Qb3+ saving the f4 Bishop)
Back to the game.
10 ...e5
11 Nc3 ....
Intending to answer 11...exf4 or 11.... Nc6 with the awkward 12 Nd5.
Black can see the Queen won't run away so plays...
11....Ne7
12. Bxe5! ....
Two Bishop sacs. This what you do with Bishops.
Keep the two Knights though, don't sac them.
12... dxe5
13.Nf3 Nec6
The Queen is trapped. Big deal she has done her bit.
14 Nd5 Qc8
15 Ng5+ Kg8
16 Nf6+ Kg7
17 Ne8+ ...
If 17...Kg8 then Nf6+ A perpetual! with Knights!
Perpetual is a moral victory for White, he has sacced two Bishops
all he left with is Knights. And...
Every Russian schoolboy knows you cannot mate with two Knights.
Even British schoolboys know you cannot mate with two Knights.
Even the school janitor knows you cannot mate with two Knights.
Even the school cleaner with her mop and .... (enough....get on with it....Russ).
So the Black King goes on a runner.
17...Kh6
18.Nf7+ Kh5
19.Nf6+ Kh4
20.h3 ....
Mate with g3 will be very expensive to stop. Very expensive. 1-0
Here is the full game.
