The move order is rather questionable. Anyway, after white's eleventh move we have an excaustively analysed Sicilian Sheveningen tabiya, where 11...e5? is a positional lemon. The normal moves are 11...Nxd4 and 11...Bd7, although 11...Kh8 and 11...Re8 have been played many, many times.

13...Bd6?? is losing on the spot after 14.Nc6, and the poor f6 knight is en prise. Black had to play 13...Kh8 or 13...Nxd4, although his position does not inspire any confidence.


Of all the alternatives you gave me for move 13 which one would you chose  and why ?

Well, statistics don't necessarily make a move strong. I think 500 games with 50% winning percentages is a lot less reputable than 5,000 with a 35% winning chance.

13...Nxd4 14.Bxd4/Bc5? 15.Qxe5 white just wins a pawn.

Nothings wrong with 7...b5 but again nothing is wrong with 7...Nc6 either  I just chose the 7...Nc6 variation to get my pieces out faster.

I got my revenge in a rapid game take a look.
