Nice to see good chess from ordinary people. Thanks for sharing the game GM King!

I love this game, great demonstration of the kingside attack in a mainline. Great job Paulius 🎉, and love the commentary, best around.

Great game and analysis! I’m going to have to pick up your Kalashnikov book, Daniel. I remember reading Winning with the Najdorf in the mid/late 90s in high school and really enjoying it. Your enthusiastic way of teaching chess is exceptionally entertaining, fun, and educational! 😊

Wow! Nice attack.. seemingly out of nowhere. I trying to learn the HyperAccelerated dragon now… but good to learn how other branches of the Sicilian work around or fight against the Maroczy Bind. Thxs for sending this. Cheers

Hi everyone. I was an avid 6.c4 player for a long time. Danny's illustrative games have convinced me 6.N1c3 is more of a challenge to Black. Follow the engine recommendations for White to ask Black serious questions. I achieved an utterly won position last night in a league game but sadly I blundered at the end. Show us some 6.N1c3 games Danny .👍

Nice game, and pretty much theory up to the end. Was it a rapid game? So yes, after 16. Rf1 Bf3 looks extremely dangerous. The black queen, ready to shoot out to h4 or a5 reminds me of a fat spider in its web, after a fly. Instead of 16. Rf1, if white plays 16. Re1, then according to my engine, 16... Bf3 can be met by 17. Bxd4 exd4; 18. Nd5 with an edge for white. I'm struggling to see the difference.

I'm a cautious 1..e5 or (formerly) 1..e6 player against 1.e4, but GM King's encourages me to get more adventurous. Problem is that there also a lot of anti-Sicilians out there, which I also have to learn if I really want to take up the Sicilian defense.

How could a 2300 player take that bishop near the end of the game? Even I could see that leads to mate. Thanks for the Game GM King.
