Winning with Strategy!! | Closed Sicilian | GM Naroditsky's Theory Speed Run

00:00 Intro 00:55 First Move 00:57 Game 34:20 Analysis 44:30 Example 1 46:34 Example 2 47:20 Back to Game 48:00 Example 3 48:36 Back to Game The game begins with the moves 1. e4 c5, which is the starting position of the Sicilian Defense. However, after 2. Nc3 and 3. Bb5, White has chosen to play a Closed Sicilian system. In a Closed Sicilian, White plays d3 and Nf3, instead of d4, in order to control the center with pawns and knights. The Closed Sicilian often leads to a slower, more positional game, as opposed to the Open Sicilian, where White plays d4 and the game becomes more tactical and open. Daniel now has a Patreon!
