A Model Attacking Game In The Sicilian Defense
In my second game during my stream, I had the black pieces and played the Sicilian Defense. My opponent played the offbeat 2. b3 and castled to the queen side. I castled to the king side, so a classic opposite sides castling position ensued.
The key difference between my position and my opponents was the "hook" on b3. This was a point of contact that I could use to open lines and attack my opponent's king. In the critical position, I made three forcing pawn moves--while my queen was attacked by a rook--to open lines to his king. You can see the highlight in the video below:
