I like this c3-d4-cxd4 as u establish a strong center. Plus u have this c3 square for the knight. Usually black players don’t allow such play, as the main strategic advantage in the Open Sicilian for Black is to have a 2 vs.1 in the center. But your compensation is the quick development of pieces. Here u get a 2 vs.2 plus good dvp. So u r much better already I believe.
…Rc8 is a natural square for the rook. But he should first castle to protect his king.
This …e5 move is curious with a Dragon setup. It looks like your opponent wanted to play a Najdorf pawn structure, he confused both I think.
h3 justification could be to protect the back rank so that your king has an escape square on h2. But the tactics in the position call that waiting move a blunder.
Yes you are right. I guess it helps for me to study the Dragon pawn structure some more, because it is often reached in this variation.
I’m not so scared of Black taking the b pawn. Giving a little material knowing that his king is in full center plus u r much better dvp should not cause any problem. U don’t need to find these computer lines, just trust the instinct.
You are right that I sometimes put too much value in material. Still it takes some courage to give up a pawn.
I don’t like this Nxe7 as Black lacks space, he’s trying to exchange pieces to create more room for the remaining. I would have tortured my opponent by backing my knight despite what computer says.
You are right. I think moving the knight to d5 in the first place wasn't the best idea.
