1. e4  c5 2. Nf3  e6 3. d4  cxd4! 4. Nxd4!  a6
5. Bd3  b5 6. O-O  Bb7 7. a4!  b4!

Played 15 times, first by Tom Wedburg vs Roman Dzindzichashvilli
New York Open, 1991, 1-0 31

8. Nd2  d6!

Played twice

9. Nc4!!  TN

Theoeretical Novelty by Brian Wall

The idea is that 7 ... b4!
opened up a square for my QN
because most Sicilian players
don't like ... d5

Gm Alexander Ivanov played 9 a5!!!
isolating the b4-pawn.
Ioulia Makka played 9 Kh1! which I considered
but the b7-bishop gave me pause.

9 ... Nf6!  10. Qe2!!

Supporting  d3, c4, e4
and preparing f4-e5

10 ... Be7  11. f4

11 a5 is a good space grab

11 ... Nbd7??  12. e5!!  dxe5!  13. fxe5!   Nd5??

Parvesnahid is in major trouble making normal looking moves.
13 ... Bc5  14 Kh1!!  B:d4 loses to
15 Nd6+!  Kf8  16 N:b7  or  ef

14. Nxe6!!

Wishing for the pretty Queen sac
14 N:e6  fe  15  Qh5+  g6  16 Q:g6+  hg  17 B:g6  checkmate

14 ...   Qb8 15. Nxg7+!!   Kd8! 16. Rxf7!!

Wipeout

16 ...   Qa7+!  17. Kh1!   Kc7 18. e6!!!

I am three pawns up with a safer King and many wins

18 ...   N7f6 19. Qe5+!!   Kd8! 20. Bg5

After 8 perfect moves I slow down to #2
The e7-bishop is barely plugging the dike so it's
not surprising that the top 3 moves take aim there
20 Nf5, Bg5 and R:e7

20 ... Rc8 21. Nf5

Missing a pretty weird mate with
21 Qd6+!!!   B:d6  22 Rd7  checkmate
21 R:e7!!  and Nd6!!
are strong normal moves

21 ... Rxc4 22. Nxe7

It's hard to count all the wins but the top three are
the simple 22 B:c4!!!!, the flashy 22 R:e7!!!!
and the workmanlike 22 N:e7!!!

22 ... Nxe7!!!

The only move to avoid immediate checkmate

23. Bxf6

Everything kills -
only 23 B:c4!!!!!  or 23 Q:f6!!!!!
are slightly better

23 ... Bxg2+

Goes out swinging

24. Kxg2!  Rg8+ 25. Kf3

25 Kf1????  Qg1+  26 Ke2  Rg2+  27 Kf3  Qf2 checkmate
would be a sick turnaround
25 Kh3!!!  Kc8!!!  26  B:c4!!!  Qa8!!!  27 Qe2!!  Qg2+
28 Q:g2  is the quickest way to mate

25 ...  Qb7+!  26. Be4!   Rxe4 27. Bxe7+!

Hoping for 27 ... Q:e7  28 Qb8 checkmate

27 ...   Kc8!  28. Qc5+!!   Kb8 29. Bd6+!!

Mating

1-0   Parvesnahid resigns
