3/9/2022 – In his "Weekly Show" Lawrence Trent talks a bit about the Grand Prix in Belgrade, but the focus of the show is game 1 of the Sweden-England Challenge match between Nils Grandelius and David Howell. In the first game, Nils missed a number of great opportunities to win in a funky sideline of the Berlin but David defended resolutely and the game ended in a draw. | Lawrence’s show is available on-demand with a ChessBase Premium Account.

But first a warm-up: The position below is from the encounter between Shakhriyar Mamedyarov and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave at the Grand Prix in Belgrade. Here the Frenchman, who was playing with Black, needed a draw in order to advance to the Semi-Finals but his position looks in dire straits. Can you see the miracle save that MVL found?

The Baffling 2.b3 Sicilian

Make life difficult for the Sicilian! 2.b3 is a thoroughly venomous but still solid kind of "Anti-Sicilian". No matter what setup black chooses, the bishop on b2 will always be unpleasant for him.
