Thank you for another Sicilian lecture. Keep them coming.
by GM Melikset Khachiyan
Grandmaster Khachiyan follows up his game with GM Alejandro Ramirez (last week) by displaying a battle against a former student. In today's video lecture, we see more explanations and tips on developing plans and coordinating pieces in the Scheveningen Sicilian. After misplacing the queen on b8, black never seemed able to recover -- while Melik's initiative and strong d4-bishop dominate the board. Not a bad way to end the game either!

Melik began playing chess at the age of 8, won the Baku Junior Championship two years later and became a Soviet Candidate Master two years after that. He began coaching early in his career and has brought up three Junior World Champions (among them Levon Aronian). In 2001, he immigrated to the US, where he qualified to play in the U.S. Championship several times. He earned his Grandmaster title in 2006.
