Everything/Anything and…Chess…"Despite the documented evidence by chess historian HJR Murray, I've always thought that chess was invented by a goddess"–George Koltanowski: from the foreword to:"Women in chess, players of the Modern Age"

Sicilian Chess Openings

22/12/2007 by Nikita


Smyslov in 2002

Please Click HERE to play through a game of Smyslov V. – Denker A. played in
Moscow, 1946. They played a Sicilian Opening.
Click HERE for more Sicilian openings! You do get different variations on the Sicilian.

If you click HERE you can read on Wikipedia about the Sicilian Defence! I like the Dragon -variation = see the 2nd small image in this  post = because of the white Knights’ formation…! It looks beautiful….hehehe…

Vasily Vasiliyevich Smyslov was born March 24, 1921, in Moscow and is a Russian chess grandmaster, and was World Chess Champion from 1957 to 1958. He was a Candidate for the World Chess Championship on eight occasions (1948, 1950, 1953, 1956, 1959, 1965, 1983, and 1985). Smyslov was twice Soviet Champion (1949, 1955), and his total of 17 Chess Olympiad medals won is an all-time record. In five European Team Championships, Smyslov won ten gold medals.

    Nogals ‘n formidabele rekord wat die oubaas daar het. Ek het self al ‘n paar keer teen iemand gespeel wat met die formasie begin het, maar nie geweet dit het ‘n naam nie…..
