Hello. In my last blog, I explained white's continuation C4) 8.0-0. Today, I'm going to analyze white's most dangerous option in the Sozin Attack. It was played by Bobby Fischer with huge success. It's the modern main line of the Sozin Attack.

 Now, black has two main options

The solid

A) 9.Qc7

or the more aggressive

B) 9.Qb6

I will look at line A) today, and leave line B) for next time. There are many continuations after line A) 9.Qc7.

A) 9.Qc7

Now white has two options

A1) 10.Re1

A2) 10.Qg3

A1) 10.Re1!?

A2) 10.Qg3

Believe it or not, white now has two options again!

A21) 11.Nf5!?

A22) 11.Nxc6

A21) 11.Nf5!?
