B41 Sicilian: Kan Variation: 5.c4 (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 c5 4.Nc3 cxd4 5.Nxd4 a6 6.e4 d6 7.Be2 Be7 8.O-O O-O)

For a long while now I have thought that I have no more different openings to share with the readers but I somehow always seem to get something. There are I believe 117 different opening variations now featured here which might seem a lot but actually it is quite a small group of all the named openings out there. There is according to site called Master Chess Openings more than 3600 openings out there and they feature all of them in their site. In that regard I have a long, long way to go still. I have added a few more puzzles today in the mate in ones, twos and threes if I remember correctly. As I have updated those in parts I don't really remember exactly what I have updated and when. This might be the last game from Queen Alice Internet Chess Club I will share for now and I may turn my attention to the games I have played at GameKnot and after that I will probably start sharing my Red Hot Pawn games. Until next time, my fellow chess enthusiasts.
