Description
Featured is an instructive chess game between Alireza Firouzja and Fabiano Caruana from the 11th and final round of Titled Tuesday Blitz, November 3rd, 2026. Arising from the Sicilian Defense, Rossolimo Attack, we observe a line with 4...bxc6. Firouzja has the healthier pawn structure, while Caruana obtains the bishop pair. A key moment occurs early with 10. Nh2, intending an f4 break. How would you respond?
