By advancing the c-pawn two squares, Black asserts control over the d4-square and begins the fight for the centre of the board. The move resembles 1…e5, the next most common response to 1.e4, in that respect. Unlike 1...e5, however, 1...c5 breaks the symmetry of the position, which strongly influences both players' future actions. White, having pushed a kingside pawn, tends to hold the initiative on that side of the board. However, 1...c5 does little for Black's development, unlike moves such as 1...e5, 1...g6, or 1...Nc6, which either develop a minor piece or prepare to do so. In many variations of the Sicilian, Black makes a number of further pawn moves in the opening (for example, ...d6, ...e6, ...a6, and ...b5). Consequently, White often obtains a substantial lead in development and dangerous attacking chances.
Meanwhile, advancing a queenside pawn has given Black a spatial advantage there and provides a basis for future operations on that flank. Often, Black's c5-pawn is traded for White's d4-pawn in the early stages of the game, granting Black a central pawn majority. The pawn trade also opens the c-file for Black, who can place a rook or queen on that file to aid their queenside counterplay.

Monster on the board, but a gentleman off the board
Finish is very nice. There is the triple threat of Rf1, Nd5, and Ng4.
grandissimo Shirov, killer micidiale!
Shirov plashed Kf2!! My God! Whats a genius movie!

Kf2 is forced. Nothing incredible there. The pawn g5 was threaten because of the pin along the h file.
Amazing Game by Mister Fire on Board. One of the best in the world in this type of positions. 1 Inaccuracy 0 Mistakes 0 Blunders 8 Average centipawn loss Black was already lost after e5
Brilliant ride of the king.
Nice conversation
Красота!

I love these Shirov games. But I'll never understand how why some of the players will play positions that appeal to his genius though. Allowing Shirov to play the Keres attack vs the Sicilian? Fuhgettaboutit...
Wow Kh5, he probably saw the sequence when he was deciding between Nxg6 or exchange Rs then Nxg6. Crazy!

I'm thinking the same thing! "OK. One variation has got to be better than the other, but which one?" My mind was on the rook swap followed by taking and push the h5 pawn to protect the knight after black's Rg8 -AND THIS IS ONE OF MANY MAJOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AMATEURS LIKE ME AND PROS LIKE HIM! I didn't see the mating net AT ALL until it was too late! Bravo GM Shirov!!

Textbook game. Black was busted out of the opening after e5.

Yeah, really weak move. Perhaps he was looking for Nf5 g6 g5 and the sacrifice of the knight. Still, in that variation there is a lot of compensativo for the piece.

@@viaconsultingco.7276 Carlsen playing an opening does not validate its soundness. Also, he's really a monster with the d6-e5 pawn structure. It may be a textbook move, but the textbook itself is quite bad. Shirov killed him here with very consistent strategic play.

Shirov literary playing blindfold in the beginning of the game.
GM Shirov is very nice and pleasant whenever he wins and comments after the game with his opponent, but when he loses it is the opposite and leaves the game very pissed off. It has two faces, I don't like that.

Nice psychology by Shirov? Looking to his right for ages seemingly more interested in other things. This clearly unsettled his opponent. Though that said Shirov is a gentleman both on and off the board so I think he really was interested in whatever was going on to his right.
