by Robert Ris
8/2/2024 – In his new Fast & Furious episode, Robert Ris takes a look at the Sicilian O'Kelly Variation (2...a6) which has recently become more popular again. Top theoretician GM Ivan Saric launched a new idea for White which seems to pose Black some serious problems. His opponent Icelandic GM Vignir Vatnar Stefansson didn't manage to come up with a good antidote and was blown off the board in only 26 moves. | Fast & Furious is available on-demand with a ChessBase Premium Account.
