Minasian,Ara - Ehlvest,J [B40]
Aeroflot Open (8)
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d3
Armenian players often follow their own opening paths, without respect to what
is theoretically fashionable. The following moves do not require any special
commentary, as they are typical for a Closed Sicilian.
3...Nc6 4.c3 Nf6 5.Nbd2 d5 6.Qe2 Be7 7.g3 b6 8.Bg2 Bb7 9.0-0 0-0 10.e5 Nd7
11.Re1 b5 12.h4 a5 13.a4!
This characteristic move is a novelty according to my database. Minasian
improves on White's play from Balashov - Dolmatov, 1979.
