Beating the Sicilian: Moscow Variation Series 1

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.

FM JESSE NOEL SALES: IT'S ALWAYS THE SMALL PIECES THAT MAKE THE BIG PICTURE

16/December 2023/I cherish this game since GM Villamayor was already one of the brightest prospects in Philippine Chess that time, but with perseverance and positive make-up, I have beaten my Coach.

The 2nd featured game:  World Champion Vladimir Kramnik’s 16. e5 move is part of a jigsaw puzzle. The other part of the jigsaw puzzle is the move 25. Nc3. This game is such a “WORK OF ART”…loved it…

FM JESSE NOEL SALES: THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR HARDWORK

08/December 2023/ From the opening stage where white dictated the game till the end part. Therefore, as a result, discipline and hardwork will never betray you. I will always cherish my wins against grandmasters where you learn a lot and are challenged at the most. Thanks to GM Rogelio “Joey” Antonio Jr. for this wonderful game.

The 2nd featured game:  Super GM Bartel’s 27. Bd3 move, amazed me. His style of play has a resemblance with World Champ Gary Kasparov’s dynamic play. Well done…

GM VIDIT, SANTOSH GURATHI: FINDING THE WEAKEST LINK

05/December 2023/ I like the way Super GM Vidit set-up his pieces, at the same time, waiting for white to overextend his kingside pawns eventually, leaving a weak link at f4 square. Imagine when you wait for the right moment, sometimes, your ability to speculate things to happen, it just happens naturally.

 

The 2nd featured game:  American Super GM Niemann’s performance lately is outstanding, all the rumors or accusations about cheating faded or overlapped by his amazing results.

The 2nd featured game: Simply an easy win by Super GM Wesley So. By breaking black’s queenside pawn chain, enough to create weak pawn structures and all followed with technically basic moves to win. Congratulations….Wesley…

31/October 2023/ Fantastic game by the American/Filipino Super GM Wesley So, he played carefully, did not allow World Champ Magnus Carlsen to recover from a disadvantageous position in the middle game. Lovely game. I hope you like it and learn from it. Thank you.

The 2nd featured game: Fantastic moves, very entertaining game by SuperGM Levon Aronian. The idea of delayed castling confuses black on where to pressure white. Amazing game it is…hope you loved it. Have a nice day to all. Enjoy your coffee…
