Here are some of the key lessons you will learn with this course:
The Hedgehog pawn structure in the Sicilian Defense
The Hedgehog is one of the most frequently seen structures as it can result from a huge variety of move orders and, in fact, this is a position that has been seen even at the highest levels of chess. It appeared in the World Championship match played between Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov in 1985.
It’s one of the most famous matches for the World Championship title in the history of chess. First of all, what is the Hedgehog pawn structure? Why do we call this structure the Hedgehog? You can see a typical structure in the image to the right.
White has a space advantage and very nicely positioned pieces. On the other hand, Black is restricted to his last 3 ranks, as you see, and what is very typical for this pawn structure are these pawns: e6, d6, a6 and, very often b6, sometimes; you might even see an additional pawn on g6.
The Pawn Structures in the Rauzer
The second structure in the Sicilian Defense that you will explore is one which arises from the so-called Richter-Rauzer variation of the Sicilian.
The Richter-Rauzer can be seen after the following sequence. 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Bg5
Already at this point, we can see that this is the Richter-Rauzer. Although, in the majority of games, Qd2 is the only move that is played in this position nowadays. 7.Be2 can also be tried, but this is pretty much harmless.
- The hidden power of the hedgehog. Kasparov’s favorite, this ultra-secure formation allows you to place your pieces optimally without interference. Well-timed pawn breaks see your bishops and rooks come to life with devastating effect.
- Sicilian mastery with either color. Whether you play as White or Black, you need to understand your opponent’s plans as well as yours. IM Kolosowski covers the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, including breathtaking tactics like Ivanchuk’s Bf5!!
- The most dangerous attacks… and how to deal with them. Essential knowledge whichever side you’re playing. Master the Keres and Yugoslav Attacks to score quick and easy wins against people who haven’t studied this course!
