Blitz Chess #353: Open Sicilian Defense w/ 4. g3

This is a blitz chess game I played as white with time control 5|2. The opening played was the Sicilian Defense with a g3 based setup. Play sharpens when white opts for the highly committal g4. g4 is both aggressive and weakening. Black replies energetically, and we soon enter play that is critical, and demanding of accurate calculation.

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who learned how to play from my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
