!!GREAT MOVE!!

Best by test

Best by test according to Bobby Fischer, white takes control over the center and is ready to develop both Queen and Bishop.

-01:-17:-50 e4
1

Sicillian defence

Black's most aggressive option, looking to make things unbalanced and complicated

c5
2

Cavalry deployd

Usually the best square for the knight, where it controls the center and supports the pawnbreak d4

-33:-41 Nf3
2

Flexible

Miezis is keeping his options, and he can choose from a variety for Sicillian systems. The pawn move also prepares action in the center.

Open Sicillian

The most ambitious, Delchev aims for rapid developement by opening up for all his pieces.

2 vs 1

Delchev gets easy developement, but back gets two central pawns, gaining longterm potential

cxd4

A strong knight

The knight is well placed on d4, covering the maximum 8 squares. Trying to chase it away with a pawn push will create big weaknesses in the black camp.

-01:-31:-34 Nxd4

in Miezes footsteps

This is one of Miezes pet lines, which a certain Carlsen has played many times when he wants a non-forced game. black avoids a knight jump and prepares b5.

The Maroczy bind

The white pawns are trying to stop Miezis pawnbreaks.

A challenge

Miezis knight is well placed on c6, where it challenges Delchev best piece and takes control over the center.

-01:-13:-22 Nc6

Avoiding a pin

The pawn move may seem slow, but Delchev wants to develop the knight without getting pinned

SURPRISE

I have never seen this move before. The queen targets the knight in the center. Normally you should not develope your queen this early

-01:-14:-40 Qf6

A wise decision

Delchev keeps his knight, probably the best move, not willing to trade pieces when he has more space for his pieces. The black queen also takes the ideal square away from black's knight
