Subject: Is the Sicilian Kan refuted?

Author: Tony Nichols

Date: 04:35:20 02/02/06


  I use the Sicilian Kan as a main part of my repertoire and have had very good
results. However, In this game my opponent(and friend) did some special
preperation. After move 11 it looks like white gets a huge attack. Is this the
end of the Kan variation?

 This is the critical position. It would appear as though black has done nothing
wrong and yet white is clearly better. I have analyzed this position with
various engines and can't seem to find a good defense. Maybe someone want's to
take a look?!

Tony
