This is my first encounter of the 2. ... a6 variation in sicilian. It wasn't so bad game for me even thought the fight for me started since move 3 :) ... yeah.. I wasn't prepared for a6. It's on 1 hour per game time control. Enjoy!

    @oginschile: Karpov would be happy if you use a6 on him.. No matter on the first or on the second move. The biggest surprise for him would be if you play him 1. ... c6! I bet he hasn't seen that!

     

    @hicetnunc: Now you know how to play ... not. I know you've analyzed my mistakes. They're all on grandmaster level. It's full of novelties and deep positional understanding. The ideas are so deep even modern chess engines fail to see them through. .. You have to play it to feel it.. Hmm... It must be tough decision for you but please play on.. and may chess gods bless your game

    You certainly killed him on the board ! I hope I won't suffer the same way in our game Smile

    Very nicely done! I haven't added 1... a6 into my repertoire yet. I'm still waiting to spring it on Karpov! I know he wouldn't be expecting it.

    EDIT: ... Sorry.. 2...a6... much different than the 1...a6 opening. My bad.

    Still a very nice game by you.
