Blitz Chess 376 Sicilian Defense Rossolimo

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td3-t4JPWcw

This is a blitz chess game I played as white with time control 5|0. The opening played was the Sicilian Defense, Rossolimo. When is it okay to exchange one's bishop for knight? Ideally which of the two remaining bishops should one be more willing to part with? These are important questions one should ask in a game such as this. • https://lichess.org/frIXYTYN • PGN: • 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3.
