Sicilian 2.c3 d6-TWIC 955

TWIC 955
Ftacnik recommends 2.c3 d6 for Black in The Sicilian Defence(Quality Chess 2010) so this is a likely line for 2.c3 Sicilian players to face and one of many lines a Najdorf player can use.

In the feature game, GM Cheparinov convincingly exploited a lead in development and an uncastled king to win an exchange. The material advantage was converted with precision in the RRB-RBB/RR-RB ending.

Hoegener,C (2059) - Cheparinov,I (2709) 

Sicilian 2.c3 d6[B22]
Reykjavik Open 2013 ISL (1.4), 19.02.2013



Position 1
White has taken some liberties with his king by delaying castling. Now black is on the hunt for concrete play to exploit this. What do you suggest for black?

Black to Play
15.Qc2


Position 2
The technical phase has begun but white's BB pair form a capable defensive duo. What do you suggest for black?

Black to Play
23.Bf5
