I won this game against a superior opponent. He made one fatal blunder which cost him his queen. Moves one through six are thematic involving a Queen sacrifice to put pressure on blacks king |

I love the Sicilian as black and play it often. |

2. f4
|
This is known as the "grand prix attack". I usually dont play this move as it weakens whites kingside but it offers some surprises as you will see. |
|

|
I prefer Nc6 because I dont like to bring the queen out early and expose it to attack. |

White gambits the e4 pawn to get fast development to blacks kingside. |

if h6 the knight takes back the pawn with a centralized knight |

defending the e4 pawn and developing a piece |

5. Bc4
|
Now white develops his bishop to a good diagonal and threatens with a knight fork |
|
| |
|
|
5... Bg4
|
black counterattacks by trapping the Queen but white is not worried here |
|
| |
|
|
6. Qxg4
|
The queen sacrifice here. White will be down three points but has a superior position. |
|
| |
|
|
6... Nxg4 7. Bxf7+
|
White foregoes the fork to put pressure on the black king. The king has one forced move and cannot castle |
|
| |
|
|
7... Kd7 8. Be6+
|
White wants to catch up on material while forcing blacks king to move hampering his development. |
|
| |
|
|
8... Kc6 9. Bxg4 Qd5
|
Black blunders here by placing his Queen on the same diagonal with his king. I still have my light squared bishop. |
|
| |

I move my knight here in a better position. I can take out his bishop since bishops are worth more than knights in a semi open game. |

Blacks ultimate blunder here. Now I have his Queen! |

Black takes out my light squared bishop his best trade here. |
