Dear Chess Friends!

This is the recording from the webinar # 15 that I conducted on Sunday (15th December). On the webinar I explained the most safe move order that helps black to keep extra pawn and get some advantage after first 10-15 moves.

Of course, this variation requires knowledge of the theory, white & black plans and typical ideas. That's why I decided to publish PGN-analysis too. You can find in my Educational Group "Tricks of Chess"

To get it:

1) Please, join Tricks of Chess group on chess.com.

2) Find the post "Sicilian Defense: Smith-Morra Gambit (PGN)"

3) There is a chess game inserted into the text. You should just click "Share", choose the tab "PGN" and download it. That's it!

Also I want you to know that participating in the webinar in live is much better than just watching the video after. You can ask your questions, you can also ask to cover some other lines (that I didn't plan to cover), you can suggest topics for our next webinars and, of course, you can answer my questions what helps you to understand the position better. Finally you can get more comfortable with this Variation!

Best Regards,
FM Victor Neustroev
