Ladies Can Play Great Chess Too!

White: Laura Ross (2043)
Black: Eugene Yanayt (2158)
Sicilian Defence – Dragon Variation

1. e4 c5
2. Nf3 d6
3. d4 cxd4
4. Nxd4 Nf6
5. Nc3 g6
6. g3 Bg7
7. Bg2 O-O
8. O-O Qb6













Black’s last move is not bad, but somewhat not explored.

9. Nde2 Nc6
10. h3 Bd7
11. Rb1 h6
12. Nd5 …..

This is often the key move in this variation.

12. ….. Nxd5
13. exd5 Ne5
14. Be3 Qa5
15. b3 g5
16. a4 Bf5
17. Nd4 Bh7
18. Rc1 Rac8
19. c4 Nd3
20. Rc2 Nb4
21. Rd2 …..

White is comfortable with her position because her pieces are well developed and had an attack ready to commence.

21. ….. a6
22. f4 gxf4
23. Bxf4 Qc5
24. Be3 Qc7
25. Qg4 Bg6
26. Be4 …..

The bishop at g2 finally gets involved.

26. ….. Kh7
27. Ne6 Qa5
28. Rxf7 Black Resigns
