{We check the game of Nicolas Rossolimo "Founder of Rossolimo variation".} 1.
e4 c5 {The Sicilian Defense} 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 {The Rossolimo variation.} g6 {
This is one of several counter moves versus the Rossolimo.} 4. O-O Bg7 5. Re1 {
Re1 idea is to support e4 but there is hidden agenda towards the black king.}
Nf6 6. Nc3 Nd4 {Compare this move to GM Frouzja's game next.} 7. e5 Ng8 {
Now the black king stays at the center.} 8. d3 Nxb5 9. Nxb5 {In the Rossolimo
variation 3. Bb5, that bishop's role is to exchange the knight at c6 or heads
back to c4 square checking on f7 square.} a6 10. Nd6+ {Here is the main point
of 5. Re1 move.} exd6 11. Bg5 Qa5 12. exd6+ {Now...its game over...} Kf8 13.
Re8+ Kxe8 14. Qe2+ Kf8 15. Be7+ Ke8 16. Bd8+ Kxd8 17. Ng5 {Fantastic tactical
combinations... Thank you GM Nicolas Rossolimo for your contribution to chess..
