Featured is commentary on an instructive chess game between Nihal Sarin and Nodirbek Abdusattorov from Round 5 of the 2026 Chennai Grandmasters. Arising out of a Sicilian Defense, we observe an uncommon setup, at the top-level at least, with 3.Bc4. The opening play from there is non-confrontational in a closed environment. An important moment occurs after 16.N1h2. How would you respond here?
