1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Open Sicilian Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 e5 Sveshnikov or Pelikan Sicilian, I like playing this position no matter what color I am.  6. Ndb5 d6 7. Bg5 a6 8. Na3 (Not the only move Bxf6 in order to damage black's pawn structure if Qxf6? Nc7+) b5 9. Nd5 Be7 10. Bxf6 Bxf6 11. c3 Bg5 12. Nc2 Ne7 13. Nde3?? It cost too much to be passive in the Open sicillian.  Bxe3? This doesn't take advantage of White's mistake. I reccomend ...g6 here with the plan of punish white by ...f5 or a less aggresive approach is ...Bb7 When white is force to admit his mistake and lose a tempo by Nd5 or allow an eventual ...d5. 14. Nxe3 Be6 15. Be2 O-O 16. O-O Qb6 17. Nd5? Entering a very passive position for White. Nxd5! 18. exd5 Bd7 Black bishop and centeral pawns are better than White's. 19. Qd2 f5! 20. Rfe1 Rac8 21. Bd1? Bf1 is superior Rc4! 22. Bc2 Qc5! 23. Re2? b4! A nice example of the minority attack. 24. Bd3 bxc3 25. bxc3 Rxc3 Black  has won a pawn. 26. Qd1 Rc8
 Dominating the c-file but couldn't Black won a second pawn with Qxd5.27. Re1 Be8? 28. Qe2? Missing the chance to regain the pawn with Bxf5 Bb5 29. Qh5?? Leaving bishop unprotected Bxd3 Black is clear piece up goes on to win the game. 30. Rad1 Qd4 31. h3 Qf4 32. Re3 g6 33. Qf3 Qxf3 34. gxf3 e4 35. Rde1 Rc1 0-1 White lack the Knowledge about this opening on move 13 Black fail to captalize on it in stead tranpose back into a line which is okay for white 13.Nce3 Bxe3 14.Nxe3, on Move 17 in a general  misunderstanding about pawn structure on White's part. Black demostrted some themes that should be study by  aspiring players Minority Attack, improving the protection of a backward pawn, and the mobile the pawn center.
