Standard Chess #158: martina24 vs. IM Bartholomew (Sicilian Defense)
1.e4 c5 2.b3!? is the battleground in this encounter. I face some development issues early on, but by the time Black achieves 10...Nb4! he is already for choice. A critical test of my slow setup (lots of pawn moves!) would have been an earlier e4-e5.
