Chess: Attacking the Sicilian
THE latest idea for White against Sicilian is an amalgam of two earlier attacking plans which have lost a little of their gloss. Bobby Fischer had much success for some years with the development of White's king bishop at QB4, followed by the pawn advance P-KB4-5. A plan against the Najdorf and similar variations of the Sicilian is for White to castle on the queen's side and advance his KNP, supported by the rook at KN1.
The new method, which is analyzed this week, combines features from both ideas. It was already illustrated here by a game Tal-Bolbochan a few weeks ago. The latest example is from the recent England v. Holland match, which the Dutch won narrowly 11-9. Hartston, on current performance England's best young player, continued his good form from the student world championship and the Havana Olympics by winning the best game of the Dutch match. The notes here are based on those contributed by the winner.
