14.Rac1

All I have to do now is to fill up these open files with towers, Rfd1
or Rac1, but not necessarily in that order.

Agreed, assuming 14 ... Bb6 (which is reasonable since Black is in bigger
trouble after 14 ... Ra8, 14 ... Qg6, 14 ... Nd8, 14 ... b5, and there's not
a whole lot else to try).

Feel free to attack at anytime. I have been waiting on the start of
White's "savage" assault for several moves. It is obvious to me that
for White to attack is without any strategic foundation in the present
position - and, indeed, White is operating from a losing position.

I'll bet that you resign before move 35.

Michael Sayers vs. Goran Fischer

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6

I'll have my third move in this game shortly. I am considering going
for less well-traversed lines than those of the immediate 3.d4 (which
allows Black to instantly accomplish one of the main strategic
objectives of the Sicilian, in the exchange of his QBP for White's
QP).

In this game I think that Black misunderstands the nature of White's
advantage. True White is down two pawns, but Black has major problems
developing both of his rooks, his queen's bishop and getting the king
to a safe haven. As a result White does not need to conduct a "savage
assault" right away; he can just position his pieces for maximum
pressure against the weak points of Blacks position side (e7,f7 and
potentially d7 and c7). After simple moves like 15.Qc4 (threatening,
16.Qh4, 17.Rxc6 and 18.Qe7#) I believe that all of Black's possible
responses to the threat (15...Qg6 16.Rfd1 to guard the d3 square anf
then 17.Qh4 etc. or 15...Qh5 g4! or 15...g5 16.Be4 Qe6 17.Qc2)
further weaken his position.

I'll bet that you resign before move 35.

I like your move 15. Qc4; also 15. Rfd1 is winning, and I'm not sure which
is ultimately the easier route. 15. Rfe1?! was tempting, but then Black can
get in Ne7 with more saving chances. To quote Emanuel Lasker on the
Compromised Defense:

"White obtains the attack because the weak point f7 can be guarded only by
the Queen and in view of the many mobile White pieces the Queen in its turn
becomes an object of attack ... Black will have to liberate himself, even at
the expense of a pawn ... or else Black will have to forego Castling ... but
all of this is rather unsatisfactory, undefined, aimless, as dancing upon a
tight rope from which the dancer may easily fall ... And during nearly the
hundred years that the above position [after Black's 6. ... exd4] has been
analyzed, no final conclusion has been arrived at, which is significant of
the validity of the position. For this reason the conscientious analyst is
driven to recommend 6. ... d6 [etc.]"

I like Mike's analysis. His 15th move is one way of launching White's
atttack and win the game. However, I'll stick to my orignal plan as
echoed by Matt. I'll continue to develop the barrage, place the rooks
on open files so as to follow theories and go from there.

No no, it's just that Mr. Sayers is trying to prove his conjecture by
enumerating all the positions where Black is lost. He has decided to
demonstrate on the Compromised Defense first.
