We are sure you will enjoy it, not only because of the extremely sharp "Poisoned Pawn" variation in the Sicilian Defense, but also for the stunning "Slow Motion" which has made very famous players even more famous (see link for Carlsen video below).

Loved the slow motion technique. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI can't hardly believe that Alexander did that too. Although I was also thinking that as black I would be very nervous in that position and seeing white having those many pieces gathered on that side of the board.
