BEATING THE SICILIAN MOSCOW VARIATION: SERIES 1
IM/WGM BIBISARA ASSAUBAYEVA: WHEN POSITIVE THINGS ARE MADE, THAT RETURNS WELL
20/December 2023/ IM/WGM Assaubayeva masterfully handled the Sicilian against the solid Moscow variation. Black’s two bishops in the middle game pressured white’s kingside which contributed to WGM Daulyte-Cornette’s blunder at move 30.
The 2nd featured game: Pretty instructive game. Super GM Vidit amazingly controlled the game from start to end. He creatively finds ways to initiate pressure in all corners. Highly recommended as a tool for chess instruction.
