Crushing the Sicilian Defence with the Smith-Morra Gambit

By November 5th, several of your best games of October were shared via our forum post.

Our team went on to carefully check all submitted games and found that the game of @AlezierChessYT was outstanding. Congrats!

The Turkish chess trainer and FM Nazmi Can Doğan alias @NaSil had a deeper look into the brilliant game and commented a lot for you to learn from, check it out (also check the other study chapters!):
