This video serves as a way to learn the opening, talking about the Najdorf, Dragon, Taimanov, Kan, Sveshnikov, Grand Prix Attack, Closed Sicilian, and others. Hope you enjoy!

Essential lesson 💜️
That “La siciliana cerrada.” Made me wet my pants
I love how whenever I play Sicilian, literally no one counter plays as you say they do and I am retarded so once it goes one step out of the orders you mentioned I am basically dead
If you like chess you probably watched Queen's Gambit on Netflix, if you watched Queen's Gambit on Netflix you probably like chess.
I was always told it's called the "Dragon" Sicilian because the knight on f6 looks like the head of a dragon with the pawns on f7, e7, and d6 forming the body and tail.
he thinks 2027 is going to be better
cool
Can you make a video on e4 e5 nf3 nc6 bc4 bc5 c3 nf6 d4 exd4 e5
I want you to make a video on nimzo Larsen attack
as a beginner this is crazy, its amazing how complicated this game can get.
2022
Is it perhaps better in the move order to have:
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 g6 5.Be3 Bg7 6.Nc3 0-0
If they defend Nd4 with Be3 and do not move Nxc6?
“La siciliana cerrada” I loved it
trying to survive in 2022 🙂
Hello this is a guy from 2027. And I just wanted to say that it's 100x worst than 2020
haha, 2021 made 1945 look like a little bitch.

When white plays bishop attacking knight on b5 is queen a5 a good move pinning d4 pon and attacking bishop
Thank you for your educational videos and content.
Bro please tell me about which show you are talking about who played this game .
I'm watching it at the end of 2022
I'm guessing you are an E-4 player? I am but my rating is only 1400. You videos help me
I know its a bit late but at 16:03 Gotham just danger leveled his opponent’s danger level🍍🍍
9:38 ah yes, when I was sitll with a gaslighting narcissist while the world fell apart —- so anyway the sicillian
ive recently been learning how to play sicilian dragon. im rated bout 1000. but so far my win rate for the dragon is about 90%. its insane. thankyou levi
Nice comment about the year) hello from 2022😊
what happened at 17:44 the white bishop just disappeared
End of 2022 and i still watch this video all the time.
Levy knows the names of chess openings like I know Pokémon evolution trees
WHY ON EARTH THERE IS SO MUCH THEORY
dragon variation vs yugoslav attack is pure art. hope I will see a video of yours explaining this ❤
When your opponent plays random crap against your opening
In black pawn to c5 is my favourite move
It's almost 2023 !
watching before 2022 ends
33:08 I know it’s an old video but I’m pretty so that at this time in the video you could have won a pawn and a rook if the bishop took the g2 pawn because of the Queen the king can’t capture. Someone please tell me if I’m wrong
✨watching from 2023✨( •̀ ω •́ )✧
He saying hope you are watching at the end of 2020.
Me who is watching on 1st jan 2023: yes.
