Queenside

In this game I tried a new idea, playing with white on the queen side in the Sicilian :
If your opponent blunders a piece you can do what you want and still win.
13...g6? was not smart, but 5...Bg4 probably already is a strategic mistake. The bishop does nothing useful there.
Seems like an interesting idea, although you should try it against a higher rated opponent. I guess there wouldn't be a risk of a kingside attack by black since queenside is usually black's area of the board in Sicilian anyway...If you're positional player you might like doing queenside attack rather than the standard Yugoslav. "Absolutely matter of taste." - GM Roman Dzindzichashvili
