Black's formation after move 8 looks like a Dragon, but white's certainly doesn't. ;)
How bad is 27... Qc3+ 28. Ke2 Qxc2+? I haven't looked very closely, but at first glance, it seems good for black.
Anyway, nicely played. :)
Interesting game of the week...
Sort:
To be honest, I'm not too keen on 28 ...Bc3+. White made a major mistake rejecting QxC3!, which, in my estimation, hands your opponent a much better game.
Anyone who knows me knows that I don't like to play Sicilian as black in speed games. It's not that I don't think it's a good defense, but I haven't studied it well enough to get a feel for all of its positional and tactical ideas. So I was quite surprised at how I moved in this presented game. Enjoy!
