Sicilians from Poikovsky

Enough has been said and written about the wonderful queen sacrifice in the game Firouzja-Karthikeyan from the Asian Continental. Tonight in the Fast & Furious show I will have a look at two very spectacular games from the Poikovsky tournament. Sasikiran won a nice game with the English Attack versus rising star Artemiev. In Korobov-Fedoseev opted for the ultra aggressive approach against the Scheveningen by advancing his kingside pawns, while his own king stayed in the centre. You better don't miss this show, as my analysis features some amazing attacking and defensive resources for both sides.

The live show is free to watch and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium accounts.
