Review of king chess::How to Win Chess in 3 Moves







Review of king chess::How to Win Chess in 3 Moves








Of               all               of               black's               responses               to               white's               1.

e4,               the               Sicilian               Defense               has               the               best               results               in               high               level               chess,               with               white               only               scoring               52.2%               of               the               games.

Compare               this               to               the               French               Defense               which               has               white               scoring               55.4%,               or               the               Scandinavian               Defense               which               has               white               scoring               57.4%.

From               these               numbers               alone,               we               can               see               that               the               Sicilian               Defense               is               a               serious               opening               for               the               attacking               player               as               black,               and               leads               to               black               having               a               lot               more               play               than               other               defenses               to               1.

e4.

The               Sicilian               Defense               starts               off               with               the               moves               1.

e4               c5.

The               point               of               this               move               is               that               black               plans               to               trade               his               c-pawn               for               white's               d-pawn.

When               this               trade               happens,               black               will               have               two               central               pawns               while               white               will               only               have               one               central               pawn.

This               gives               black               a               lot               of               potential               to               break               through               into               white's               center.

A               general               theme               in               all               main               lines               of               the               Sicilian               Defense               is               that               white               will               control               the               center               in               the               beginning               of               the               game,               and               black's               play               will               revolve               around               attacking               white's               center.

The               fact               that               black               will               have               two               central               pawns               to               do               this               with               is               often               decisive.
               Moving               along,               in               the               main               lines               of               the               Sicilian               Defense,               white's               next               move               is               2.

Nf3,               which               prepares               to               play               d2-d4.

The               reason               white               plays               Nf3               first               is               so               that               when               he               plays               d2-d4,               and               black               plays               cxd4,               white               can               reply               with               Nxd4               instead               of               having               to               take               with               Qxd4.

If               white               has               to               play               Qxd4,               then               black               can               attack               the               white               queen               with               moves               like               Nc6               and               gain               time.
               And               here,               black               generally               plays               one               of               three               different               moves.

Black               will               normally               play               2.

...

Nc6,               2.

...

d6,               or               2.

...

e6,               all               of               which               lead               to               different               lines.

Something               that               you               will               notice               if               you               study               the               Sicilian               Defense               is               that               there               are               a               lot               of               transpositions               that               black               can               make               with               his               move               order,               so               if               he               plays               Nc6               here,               he               can               easily               switch               to               a               variation               that's               normally               played               by               playing               e6               here               instead.

In               this               article,               I               will               cover               some               of               the               main               Sicilian               Defense               variations               that               originate               from               2.

...

Nc6               and               2.

...

e6.

This               will               serve               as               a               bit               of               a               survey               of               the               Sicilian               Defense               main               lines               so               that               you               may               see               at               a               glance               what               appeals               to               you               and               what               does               not,               so               that               you               can               decide               what               you               would               like               to               study               further.
               The               Rossolimo               Variation
               After               2.

...

Nc6,               instead               of               playing               his               plan               of               3.

d4               right               away,               white               can               play               3.

Bb5               instead.

The               point               of               this               move               is               that               if               white               plays               Bxc6,               when               black               takes               back               with               a               pawn               it               will               mess               up               his               pawn               structure               a               bit,               and               also               give               white               more               influence               in               the               center               since               black's               knight               no               longer               attacks               d4               or               e5.

To               counter               this,               black               plays               3.

...

e6.

Now               if               white               plays               Bxb6,               black               plays               bxc6,               and               instead               of               being               weak,               the               black               c6-pawn               supports               black's               push               of               d7-d5,               breaking               through               in               the               center.

Instead,               white               simply               castles               4.

0-0               and               black               plays               Nge7.

Now               black               has               the               option               of               taking               back               on               c6               with               his               e7               knight               if               he               wants.
               Now               white               has               to               make               a               decision               on               how               to               continue               his               play.

Black's               plan               is               to               play               a6               and               b5               followed               by               Bb7,               and               try               to               break               open               the               center               with               d7-d5.

White               can               play               with               Re1,               Nc3,               or               c3               here.

I               think               that               5.

c3               is               the               easiest               to               play,               so               that's               what               I               recommend               here.

Play               continues               5.

...

a6,               6.

Ba4               b5,               7.

Bc2.

In               this               position,               white               has               a               solid               center               and               a               safe               king               with               a               plan               to               build               up               and               play               d2-d4.

Black               on               the               other               hand               has               queenside               counter               play,               and               possible               counter-play               in               the               center.

This               is               a               balanced               position               with               a               slight               edge               to               white.
               The               Sveshnikov               Variation
               If               we               back               up               to               the               position               after               1.

e4               c5,               2.

Nf3               Nc6,               white               has               the               option               of               playing               3.

d4               right               away,               which               was               his               plan               in               the               first               place.

After               3.

...

cxd4,               4.

Nxd4,               black               plays               Nf6               attacking               the               white               e4-pawn,               and               white               protects               it               with               5.

Nc3.

You'll               come               to               see               that               black's               fourth               move               and               white's               fifth               move               are               pretty               standard               in               most               Sicilian               main               lines.

In               this               position,               black               has               the               option               of               playing               5.

...

e5               which               puts               us               into               the               Sveshnikov               variation.

White               replies               with               6.

Ndb5.

Black               plays               d6,               preventing               white               from               playing               Nd6+               and               messing               up               his               position.

White               activates               his               bishop               with               7.

Bg5,               black               kicks               out               the               knight               with               a6,               and               white               comes               back               with               8.

Na3.
               Now               take               a               moment               and               look               at               this               position.

Black               has               a               stronger               central               presence               than               he               does               in               most               Sicilian               main               lines,               at               least               this               early,               but               white               is               compensated               by               the               fact               that               d5               is               a               big               hole               in               black's               game.

In               fact,               much               of               white's               play               will               revolve               around               getting               his               knight               to               d5               and               piling               up               on               the               d-file.

It's               balanced,               however,               by               the               fact               that               black               has               central               play               as               well.
               Black's               next               move               is               usually               8.

...

b5,               with               the               threat               of               b5-b4,               forking               white's               two               knights.

White               has               a               number               of               ways               to               reply               to               this,               including               the               passive               Nab1,               or               the               more               active               plans               of               an               immediate               Nd5               or               Bxf6               gxf6,               followed               by               Nd5.

This               is               a               sharp,               double-edged               system               that               gives               both               sides               a               lot               of               play,               although               again               there               is               a               slight               edge               for               white.
               The               Paulsen               Variation
               Instead               of               2.

...

Nc6,               black               can               also               play               with               2.

...

e6.

After               1.

e4               c5,               2.

Nf3               e6,               3.

d4               exd4,               4.

Nxd4               Nf6,               5.

Nc3               we're               in               the               Paulsen               Variation.

Here,               black               can               play               with               5.

...

Qb6,               which               may               be               a               strange-looking               move,               but               the               point               is               that               black               is               cutting               across               the               a7-g1               diagonal               with               his               queen               and               that               he               pins               down               white's               c1-bishop               to               the               defense               of               the               b2-pawn.

White               can               play               6.

Nb3               Bb4               (threatening               Bxc3+,               bxc3               Nxe4,               winning               a               pawn),               7.

Bd3               Bxc3+,               8.

bxc3               Qc7,               and               black's               game               is               fine.

Black               has               doubled               white's               c-pawns,               but               in               exchange               white               has               the               two               bishops               and               a               little               more               control               of               the               center.

This               position               is               slightly               better               for               white.
               Conclusion
               In               the               main               line               of               the               Sicilian               Defense,               black's               options               of               2.

...

e6               and               2.

...

Nc6               can               steer               the               game               in               totally               different               directions               based               off               what               kind               of               game               black               would               like               to               play.

The               basic               idea               when               studying               openings               is               to               briefly               look               over               a               few               variations               in               a               system,               and               decide               which               you               like               best.

Then               after               you               make               this               decision,               you               study               that               variation               more               intensely               to               gain               a               true               feel               for               it.

Eventually               you'll               know               the               variation               inside               and               out,               and               anyone               who               wants               to               play               that               opening               with               you               will               be               in               a               lot               of               trouble.
