WEBVTT 00:01.290 --> 00:02.010 Hi there. 00:02.490 --> 00:07.830 In this next, we're going to have a look at the Sicilian defense of the 845 and we can have a look 00:07.830 --> 00:09.120 at the Open Sicilian. 00:09.120 --> 00:13.600 So often Afri has the intention of playing defore. 00:14.370 --> 00:16.010 So let's say desex. 00:16.020 --> 00:21.510 This is one of the main line moves, these things so we often get deformed. 00:21.540 --> 00:26.580 This is the open Sicilian and black attacks, white people, white, the fansite. 00:27.150 --> 00:34.910 And here the Rolls Royce, like the mainline on the Sicilian is a sex the Neudorf variation named after 00:34.920 --> 00:36.030 Miguel Neudorf. 00:36.390 --> 00:41.660 So great legends of the game like Bobby Fischer because we've played the little variation. 00:42.150 --> 00:44.430 There's also the Sicilian Dragon. 00:45.840 --> 00:48.390 There's the classical variation 1986. 00:48.900 --> 00:52.430 And within the classical version, there's Director Rózsa attack. 00:52.830 --> 01:00.380 So if six G5 that's a Rechter rules that attack as the SOS in version Bishop CIFOR six Bishop CIFOR. 01:01.230 --> 01:07.440 Now, if we have a look at this position, OK, I mean, there's a wealth of territory there. 01:07.980 --> 01:16.890 But if we go actually back here to this position after five 93, if we play Essex's Black, that's the 01:16.890 --> 01:19.080 Shavon Shavon Indian version. 01:19.500 --> 01:26.010 Interestingly, that's been overtaken in recent years by the night of his faults have some advantages, 01:26.040 --> 01:33.870 especially one advantage is that ESX closes up a bit too soon, perhaps because now has the option of 01:33.870 --> 01:35.940 the dangerous Kharas attack. 01:36.240 --> 01:42.540 So that's why there's been a shift in popularity from playing the shaping of the to more. 01:42.540 --> 01:47.040 The Aztecs both has become more mainline than the old Shavitt England style. 01:47.310 --> 01:52.440 We're playing it with a major ESX, so that's an interesting little trends change. 01:53.640 --> 02:01.200 So statistically, the Carras attack has been scoring well for win over a huge number of years. 02:01.200 --> 02:04.400 It's a very, very dangerous weapon of choice where the carriers attack. 02:05.250 --> 02:17.760 So if we go back to move to and have a look at this open variation and here after E for C 593, let's 02:17.760 --> 02:22.350 look at two nights, C six instead of D, things will play nice C6. 02:22.830 --> 02:31.920 Quite often this is used to get into the so-called Sicilian specialty of off the C takes 964 night Seefried 02:31.920 --> 02:33.240 blacklegs e5. 02:33.720 --> 02:40.740 So this is become this has become quite popular in recent years, especially with Magnus Carlsen recognizing 02:40.740 --> 02:42.870 it at the World Championships. 02:43.350 --> 02:50.130 So the caecilians version of it was one of my favorite opening's as when I was younger. 02:50.280 --> 02:52.590 You know, I was a big fan of the sentence Patricof. 02:53.220 --> 02:55.170 There's also the accelerated dragon. 02:55.290 --> 03:00.410 We've got so satirising that Fang Catoe, there's also a Kalashnikov. 03:00.420 --> 03:05.700 Rashon Not even committing to play Mitzy free to playing E5 here immediately. 03:06.360 --> 03:07.530 Some might be five. 03:08.130 --> 03:13.740 Then Black plays desex and White has some options here. 03:14.610 --> 03:17.780 For example, White could try because White hasn't committed a night. 03:17.840 --> 03:25.020 See, White can play C4 and have the kind of Rocsi BOYENS so-called moxey boyens where white has these 03:25.020 --> 03:25.200 two. 03:25.200 --> 03:30.330 --'s binding the defined square, but there are other options for white as well in the Kalashnikov 03:32.340 --> 03:35.040 and also black is even, you know, not obliged. 03:35.250 --> 03:37.500 I mean there are other variations to explore. 03:37.860 --> 03:43.170 So this is just a very, very brief overview of Sicilian defense operations. 03:43.560 --> 03:49.080 But the absolute main line to consider as being really trendy and popular and may be worthy of your 03:49.080 --> 03:55.560 experimentation initially is to actually play the Sicilian Neudorf. 03:55.590 --> 03:59.100 So you'll be following in the footsteps of Bobby Fischer and Kasparov. 03:59.380 --> 04:05.220 You played this A6 move is a great way of trying to win with the black pieces. 04:05.610 --> 04:13.350 You do get favorable imbalances to play with and fisheries made use of these imbalances, especially 04:13.350 --> 04:18.360 the CFO and the general resourcefulness within Black's position is very, very interesting. 04:18.930 --> 04:25.440 So, OK, this is just a very, very brief overview of the Sicilian named variations for you to be aware 04:25.440 --> 04:26.970 of how much.
