This is a blitz chess game I played as black with time control 5|0. The opening played was the Sicilian Defense, Paulsen or Kan variation. Black supports a knight jump into g4, setting up fishing pole tactics against the white king. The cost is a lack of development, and a weakened kingside which makes castling there not as secure. Would the pros outweigh the cons with black’s 8…h5, and more importantly is h5 really a “move”, or just a dubious idea?

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by 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.
