B34 Sicilian: Accelerated Dragon with 5.Nc3: sidelines (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 g6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Bg7 5.c3 Nc6 6.Be3 Nf6 7.f3 O-O)

I'm back posting again, as this month mostly went unfortunately down the drain with all the computer problems, starting next month I will update this blog daily again. With the new computer quite a lot has changed in the way I do things. With the help of my newly acquired Deep Fritz 14 and the new engine I got for it, Stockfish 5 64 SSE4.2 at least the quality of analysis should be better than it was earlier. Not only that but the processor and well all parts of the computer should be much better also to get as good analysis as possible. Will these improvements help me play better in the future? I do hope so but I also know that I haven't improved my level of play in years... We shall see if I can ever properly call myself a good chess player. Analysis updated on December 22nd, 2019.
