Kg7! What a move! Perhaps Judit missed this. These top players certainly know how to reinterpret Chess principles too. Doubled pawns, bad bishops. Morosevich used the dynamics of the position excellently.
If you don't feel really all that confortable with white against the sicilian I propose you have a look at the smith-morra gambit (1. e4 c5 2. d4 cxd4 3. c3 dxc3 4. Nc3). The idea in very short is that you sac a pawn for a development advantage and possible very strong rooks in the c and d-files. Aside of that the big advantage I always thought was that you often throw a lot of sicilian players out of their immediate well-prepared/memorized repetoire.
Hey Kingcrusher: I love your videos :) This is somewhat off topic, but I was wondering if you could post an instructive game on how White should play against the Sicilian. The Sicilian is by FAR the most popular opening in tournament play, and a lot of the books focus on Black's plans and counterplay...and I very rarely feel comfortable with the White pieces when up against the Sicilian....especially the Dragon variation Can you do an instructive game with this theme? I would appreciate it :)
Judit had numerous opportunities to keep her light-squared bishop with Nxd5, and yet she just allowed Moro to walk all over her and slaughter her king!!!??? Maybe I’m not seeing something but it looks so logical just to snatch that bishop on d5 much earlier.
i love moro's crazy openings and defences.
polgar, an attacker herself, was lured
into this tricky game.

At 7:00: Rather than Qxf3, doesn't Qe1 mate on the spot?

excellent tut
top class analysis
excellent
I support your request.Let's ask Kincrusher show us Fischer-Geller games,they are both very skillful in Sicilian
That was my first thought!
Maybe white should have gotten rid of the bishop with one of her knights. It would keep the king safer?

Morozevich is a great Russian.
HAHAHAHA
