Harshit vs Adhiban
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.Today I'm going to take a look at Harshit vs Adhiban from the National Team Open and talk a bit about the analogue watch controversy as well as a round-up of other big tournies (Cairns Cup, Bundesliga etc.)
But first: White can win in many ways, Bd5 does the same here, correct?

Lawrence Trent's latest
Read a review of Trent's previous FritzTrainer on the "Bombastic Bird's Opening"!
Welcome to the Bombastic Bird's, a revolutionary repertoire for one of the most enterprising and underrated openings in chess theory (1.f4). In this series, IM Lawrence Trent uncovers a number of groundbreaking theoretical novelties and new ideas that will soon have scorners of this romantic system regretting they ever doubted its soundness.
