1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. Bb5 {This line is becoming incresingly popular thanks
to the efforts of Tiviakov and Najer, but it is losing its appeal after
Fedorov showed a way to equalize comfortably with 3...Nd4 4.Bc4 (4.Ba4 has
been tried by Tiviakov a couple of times) e6 5.Nf3 Nf6 6.0-0 a6.} g6 {
This is a usually thought of as a mistake, but it could also be seen as a
fighting weapon since black inmediately forces an unbalance in the position:
two bishops for a worse pawn structure.} 4. Bxc6 bxc6 5. d3 Bg7 6. f4 {
This is the main advantage of this 2.Nc3 and 3.Bb5 line over the Rossolimo.
White can push his f pawn straight away, without wasting any time (in the
Rossolimo the usual plan is to play Ng5 followed by f2-f4).} Nf6 7. Nf3 O-O 8.
O-O d6 {This position has been reached several times, and I knew 9.Qe1 was the
main line. But during the game I became worried about 9...c4 and decided to
put my queen on <e2> instead. Nonetheless, I feel 9.Qe1 to be the right move
in this position, keeping more options open.} 9. Qe2 $146 Ne8 {Black's plan is
to get the knight to <e6>, with f7-f5 coming at some point. During this
journey, black should not allow the push f4-f5 in good conditions.} 10. Nd1 Nc7
11. c4 $6 {A typical idea, but here black could have obtained a nice position
thanks to the weakness of the <d4> square. Still, I do not feel too proud
about the entire 9.Qe2 plan in any case. I think black should be doing fine.}
Bg4 $6 {Black wants to get a complete  grip on the <d4> square, and to obtain
this he is willing to part with his light squared bishop. But this proves to
be a mistake since white will also get to play f4-f5, which promises nice
attacking chances on the kingside.} (11... f5 $1 {Was the right move.} 12. e5
Ne6 {Usually white wants to defend his <d4> square in these positions so as
not to allow Nd4, Nxd4, cxd4 followed by c6-c5 and the <c8> bishops becomes
alive. But here matters are not so easy.} 13. Be3 dxe5 {

when I guess black's compensation is not quite enough for a pawn.}) 14. f5 $16

{Curiosity of the Month W25: "Another quick win on the tournament circuit for
the Grand Prix Attack" M.Al Modiahki-N.Faulks, Istanbul Olympiad, Turkey 2000.
Sicilian Grand Prix Attack, Code B23. The Grand Prix Attack could almost be
described as a "formula opening" because of its easy-to-understand attacking
ideas which White can repeat game after game. What's curious is that, even
when many Black losses have already been widely published, further very
similar ones just keep on happening! Witness the following recent example from
the Istanbul Olympiad.} 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 d6 3. f4 Nc6 4. Nf3 g6 5. Bc4 Bg7 6.

of} 6... Bg4 $2 7. Bxf7+ Kxf7 8. Ng5+ Ke8 9. Qxg4) 7. d3 O-O 8. Qe1 {White's qu
een is heading for the h4-square, from where seemingly countless decisive
attacks have been launched against the black king in other games featuring the
Grand Prix Attack.} e6 9. Bb3 {
The white bishop avoids being hit by a possible ...d6-d5 advance.} Nd4 $6 {
This soon leads Black to being saddled with a doubled weak pawn at d4.} 10.

would let White's dangerous b3-bishop get a clear view pointing towards f7.})

opponent on the receiving end!} d5 14. Qh4 $1 ({Black was hoping for} 14. exd5

like that. White now menaces 15 f6 or 15 fxe6 fxe6 16 Rxf8+ Nxf8 17 exd5.})
