In our first game I take a look at Rossolimo Vs Romanenko. An 18 move miniature in the “Rossolimo Sicilian” from 1948.

The opening is currently a very fashionable way to play for White, with a number of games in the Anand Vs Gelfand World Championship and the recent Candidates tournament springing to mind.

The game, with my annotations can be replayed here.
