I had earlier finished playing a game that opened with the Zukertort Opening: Sicilian Invitation. I was White and my opponent was Black. I feel that we both played a good game overall. As with my previous posts, I would love to know just how both sides fared overall. Also, I would like to know how The Zukertort Opening: Sicilian Invitation works in general, if at all possible.
