8/11/2021 – In this week's "Weekly Show" IM Lawrence Trent is doing something a little different: he will analyse the first "Over-the-Board" game he has played for about 18 months! It is his victory vs Torben Schulenburg from a match between the SK Norderstedt and the Chess Friends Hamburg in the "Oberliga", Germany's third league. Lawrence will also talk about the big news such as the Chessable Masters, World Cup winner etc. | Lawrence's show is available on-demand with a ChessBase Premium Account.

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.
