The Anand, Kuipers, Rasulov, Karthik and Vavulin games all touch Sicilian structures. The Sicilian is therefore the most useful opening route from this page. Use the Sicilian card after the Anand replay.
Maghsoodloo–Vallejo is a long French Advance conversion and one of the best deep-study games in the set. It shows patience after an ambitious kingside push. Use the French card after the Vallejo replay.
