How To Reach Masters Playing The Sicilian Kan | Grandmaster Opening Repertoire

intermediate
GM Moulthun LyOpeningSicilian defenseKan variation

Hi guys, in this opening video I will present to you one of the very first Sicilian I started to play which was the Kan. It later became my mainline and I continued on with it until Master level. I think it's one of those openings you either love or hate. None the less it offers a lot of flexibility compared to many other Sicilian variations.

You can view the lines I covered in this video on Lichess @ lichess.org/study/vx8x6xds/COywp5bd

In part 2 of this video, I did a follow up covering the Maroczy bind structures using the Hedgehog: youtu.be/R0xNzUBcN2A
