Blitz Chess #379: Sicilian Defense, Kan

This is a blitz chess game I played as black with time control 5|0. The opening played was a Sicilian Defense, Kan variation. White, with preparation, looks to go straight after black’s throat, aiming for either an f5 or e5 break. How to adapt to a changing structure, budget one’s time, and calculate well would be the key factors in this sharp middlegame out of the Sicilian Kan.

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.
