This is a Sicilian Defense: Scheveningen (Fianchetto Variation B80):
ReplyDelete1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e6 (allows 6.g4, the Keres Attack)
[The Keres Attack is considered very dangerous. It was named after notable GM Paul Keres. The move takes advantage of the fact that 5...e6 cuts off the black queenside bishop’s control of g4. White plans to force the knight on f6 (black’s only developed piece) to retreat and force black into a more passive position. This move also launches white into a king-side attack.]
6.g3 a6 7.Bg2 Qc7 8.O-O Nc6 9. Re1 Bd7 10. a4?! (probably a stronger line would have been 10.Nxc6 Bxc6 11.a4 Be7 12.a5…)
10…Nxd4 (This appears to be a novelty as 10…Be7 seems to have been the only moved played at this point in previous games)
[More to come later when I get more time.]
I guess I never found more time before the deadline; sorry about that.
