Here is a short game I played this week-end in an OTB team league match.
My opponent faltered in the early middlegame, however, it seems there were some plausible, if complicated, paths to complete equality. I've tried to explore them in the notes (press the [Move list] button to see them)
Further insights are very much welcome
great game. We can not read the notes you make besides the comments under the game. The notes in the notes screen are private.
Press the move list button
Looks to me like 21 Nxd5 Nxd5 22 Qxb7 would've worked.
Tony, thank you for your insight ! Yes it looks like it works - I hadn't even considered it during the game, as I was focused on my initial idea.
wow, the sicillian is starting to look worse and worse for black everyday.it seems to lose more now than ever.
=> MBickley thank you for pointing my tactical mistake - maybe 19.Nxa7+ is a slight improvement, though it's not clear either. I'll have to rethink this one over
Just wondering Have you ever tried the English Attack against the C5 Scillian? thanks Rab
