1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Be3 {Sicilian Najdorf}
Ng4 7. Bd2 {This is the first move that isn't common at the Grandmaster level.
Moving the bishop to d2 leaves the knight on d4 unprotected. Black does a
good job taking advantage of this with 7...Qb6.} (7. Bg5 h6 8. Bh4 g5 9. Bg3
Bg7 {is the main line with a fairly equal position.}) 7... Qb6 $1 {Three
threats here. ...Qxb2, ...Qxd4 and ...Qxf2++ if the d4-knight moves.} 8. f3 {
The best move.} Qxd4 9. fxg4 e6 10. Qf3 {Here Black should be thinking about
White castling queenside. If we aren't prepared White will gain some time on
our queen.} b5 (10... Nd7 11. Be3 Qf6 {is a slight improvement on the game
line. Black should develop the minor pieces before pushing the b-pawn.}) 11.
Be3 Qf6 12. Qxf6 gxf6 $11 13. Bd4 Ke7 {Nice king move!} 14. Bd3 Bg7 15. g5 Nd7
16. O-O h6 17. gxh6 Rxh6 18. Rf2 Bb7 19. Raf1 Rah8 {The doubling of the rooks
on the h-file is a great idea for Black. If we look at White's minor pieces,
which of them are strong? The d4-bishop is the only good minor piece right
now. If Black plays ...Ne5 it not only centralizes the knight, but leaves
White's pieces in a bind.} 20. h3 Rg6 21. Kh2 Nc5 ({A slightly better move is}
21... Bh6 {with the idea of doubling on the g-file now that the h-pawn is
pushed.} 22. Nd1 Rhg8 {with a clear advantage for Black.}) 22. Bxc5 dxc5 23. b3
f5 {Great move! Activating the g7-bishop to e5!} 24. Ne2 Be5+ {and White is
in trouble!} 25. Kh1 Rh7 26. exf5 Rxh3+ $3 27. Kg1 Bh2+ 28. Kh1 Bg3+ 29. Kg1

42. Nf5 Rg5 43. Nd4 Bd5 44. Bf5 Bc4 45. Bc8 Rg3+ 46. Kb2 Rg6 47. Bb7 Ke8 48.
Nc6 Bd5 49. Ne5 {This was a strong game by nyLsel. Out of the opening I would
like to see the minor pieces developed more quickly with 10...Nd7. Also on
move 19 there was a chance to switch the rooks to the g-file for an attack.
Overall though Black played a great game and was tactically sound. There was
no chance for White to take the initiative which is important.} 0-1
Thanks for the free Chess Analysis!
Where's the cool little diagram thing with all the moves you can punch onto?
This is a test in visualization Andy, I for one agree with the computer here.
Dang, I guess I fail.
Yes it's a test of visualization.
I did however manage to do pretty well on the test of annotation.
The diagram of the game. :)
