Originally posted by hedonistI thought you were going to play Smith-Morra gambit style, then went into a kind of grandprix attack with f4, craziest white side of a Sicilian, the queen lost a few tempi in the middle, blocked the development of the queens bishop, eventually was victim to a pawn fork, just an observation, why do you play the queen pawn with black and not with white? Although you won the game in the fourth round, it seems risky, why did not white after playing b3 not play bishop to a3 skewering queen and bishop? Interesting games, is this in the 1600-1800 hundred section?
Black in round 4
