Sicilian Defense - How to beat the Smith-Morra Gambit

Dear Chess Friends,

I started uploading my opening repertoire to my Patreon channel. If you want a strong repertoire for yourself, I highly recommend you to watch my videos in which I talk about opening lines and I explain middlegame strategies, too. I checked my lines with Stockfish, so they are completely reliable.

In this video, I teach you how to handle the Smith-Morra Gambit. Here is the link to that: https://www.patreon.com/posts/sicilian-defense-118417768?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

I hope you'll find it useful. If you like it and you want to see my private educational videos, you can subscribe to my Patreon channel. I upload 4-8 hours of videos / month and you can learn about openings, strategies, tactics and endgames, too. I also upload daily puzzles in 4 levels every day.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to write to me.

Kind regards,

Gabor

I play it with ...e6 and ...a6. That's a really solid line. You can see them in the full video. happy.png

At the beginning, it's rather just a loss of an important tempo. Maybe later at some point...
