Hi,

I'd like to train my black openings and check out if my concepts of this openings are right. I will play an Hyper Accelerated Dragon, a bit tricky sicilian if you do not know it.

So here are the first moves:

1.e4 c5

2.... I do not care about closed, open, or even maroczy bind. I just wanna go through any sicilian

Cheers

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 g6
3. f4 Nc6
4. Nf3 e6
5. Bb5 Bg7
6. d3 Ce7

I just pursue my development and my plan. My next move (if no threats of course) would be d5. Or 0-0 first. ;o

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 g6
3. f4 Nc6
4. Nf3 e6
5. Bb5 Bg7
6. d3 Nge7
7. Be3

Developing the bishop to a central square and contesting the d4 square. Also begins preparing for castling queenside. Anything but d6 or b6 hangs your c-pawn.

I have a lot of others options than d6 or b6, which are slow moves.

The N on c6 may come to d4 for example.

However, in our case I prefer the move Qb6.

Then the game is as follow:

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 g6
3. f4 Nc6
4. Nf3 e6
5. Bb5 Bg7
6. d3 Nge7
7. Be3 Qb3

Be careful, there is a lot of threats with you Bishop on b5.

Oh yeah, forgot about Qb6. I hate it when i do that!

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 g6
3. f4 Nc6
4. Nf3 e6
5. Bb5 Bg7
6. d3 Nge7
7. Be3 Qb6

I see your threat is to take on c3 and remove the defender of my bishop. White has three valid options:

a) Trade the bishop for your e7 knight (assuming you'll take back with knight, I suppose you could take with the queen), then address the problems along the long diagonal.
b) Close the center with e5. This pawn could easily come under fire, however, and gives you the other long diagonal to use.
c)Block the bishop with Ne5. But, after trading knights on e5, the f-pawn is free food for your bishop after fxe5.

I'm starting to see why you prefer playing this opening.

8. Bxc6

I'll survive without the two bishops. Besides, I still have a trick or two up my sleeve.

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 g6
3. f4 Nc6
4. Nf3 e6
5. Bb5 Bg7
6. d3 Nge7
7. Be3 Qb6
8. Bxc6 bxc6

I think you played the best option there. I want to eat your eat b pawn, but it looks pretty dangerous. I only see three big options:

- I take the bishop with my N, with my queen or with the d, b pawn.

1°) I exclude taking back with my knight since I put it in e6 to control the f5 square. I dont want to remove the defender of this key square.

2°) Taking back with the queen. It looks like the best option since I keep my pawn structure intact. But then, whats my plan? My queen controls the d5 square, but so what? Can I play 9...d5 I m quite confused with this so "cool" line.

3°) I prefer taking back with the c pawn to gain control of the center. There are drawbacks however. Now my c5 paw is really weak and I do not see yet how I would defend it. The natural move 9.Na5 to attack twice my pawn is refued by 9...Qa4+. But later, I do not know... It s a bet this move

So I hope my next move would be 9...d5 and then exchanging my d pawn against your e pawn.
I can maybe also take advantage of the b file with my rook and my queen. But attacking the queen side must be postponed. All my efforts must be concentrated in the center.

You play it closed, I want to open it



Edit: Looking the scheme I was wondering about 9.e5. Ok you can not anymore push your f pawn, but hey, you cant have everything

Right. I'll keep Na5 in my bag of tricks for later.

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 g6
3. f4 Nc6
4. Nf3 e6
5. Bb5 Bg7
6. d3 Nge7
7. Be3 Qb6
8. Bxc6 bxc6
9. Rb1

I chose Rb1 because there are many other options, but because of your pressure on c3 and b2, I would be losing material (a la 9. b3 Bxc3+ or 9. Qd2 Qxb2). This is unfortunate, as I was hoping to castle queenside. I suppose I'd rather be without an f-pawn than castle into a queen and bishop attack.

Hey,

You right about 9.a5, it s loosing material. However, with the defensive move 9.Rb1 I gain a tempo which allows me to play 9...d5. You do not have a lot of choices because of the simple threat 10...d4.

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 g6
3. f4 Nc6
4. Nf3 e6
5. Bb5 Bg7
6. d3 Nge7
7. Be3 Qb6
8. Bxc6 bxc6
9. Rb1 d5

I always have to care about tactis on my c5 paws, so I plan to play ASAP Rc8. Or maybe I would give up this pawn as gambit to gain one time. But for now I do have the initiative, and I would all what I can to keep it

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 g6
3. f4 Nc6
4. Nf3 e6
5. Bb5 Bg7
6. d3 Nge7
7. Be3 Qb6
8. Bxc6 bxc6
9. Rb1 d5
10. exd5



I'd rather play defensively than lose material.

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 g6
3. f4 Nc6
4. Nf3 e6
5. Bb5 Bg7
6. d3 Nge7
7. Be3 Qb6
8. Bxc6 bxc6
9. Rb1 d5
10. exd5 cxd5

I control the center.² But I think you have cc.Just pay attention to 11...d4

Yeah, 11. ...d4 is definitely bad for me.

Here's my analysis of the position:

Your center is strong, but you may have a hole in the future on e5. Currently it is guarded by your bishop, and your f-pawn can challenge the square by f6. However, your control of d4 more than compensates, in my opinion. Also, Black's king is safer than White's due to Black's space advantage and intact kingside.

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 g6
3. f4 Nc6
4. Nf3 e6
5. Bb5 Bg7
6. d3 Nge7
7. Be3 Qb6
8. Bxc6 bxc6
9. Rb1 d5
10. exd5 cxd5
11. Na5

I chose Na5 becuase it is a multi-purpose move. It protects b3, attacks your queen on b6 and your pawn on c5. And it removes one of my pieces from a pawn fork on d4.
