     Here Chess.com's column writer GM Julio
Becerra is even on material but he doesn't
let doubled e-pawns hold him back.  Can you find
the 6 moves which led to black's resignation?

Bonus1: Who was Mr. Becerra's opponent?
Bonus2: What variation of the Sicilian is played?

Do you see the final beautiful move(which I didn't provide)that ended this game?
Black's fifth move here was Qf6, and then white played the clincher.

what crazy said. :)

and qc7+

oh and, ray should have been able to hold this game, white doesn't really have any advantage in this game until the very end. maybe qg7 is a mistake. he should stay centralized, defend d6, and not go for "counterplay."
