The Closed Sicilian once caused quite a stir when weilded by Spassky, but it's in contemporary decline, & is generally assumed to cause Black few problems. It is now considered merely an early deviant.
Huzzah! The Grand Prix attasck is on! This is dangewrous indeed for an unprepared black, but one would suspect at 2125, Black would mutually understand his best chances, especially after vastly comitting to ...Nc6 would be 3. ... g6. Then the following 4.Nf3 Bg7 and Black can now meet either 5.Bc4 or 5.Bb5 with strong play.
A wonderful, complex, aggressive awkwardly opening, and Black misses subtley on his third move.
Arleady, Black has less mobility. Had ... d6 not been played (allowing the
Bishop pin) In the same way the knight would have d4 as a forward escape square. Seeing as how White was 'going' to play Bb5, the sequence for Black, ... To a lesser extent g6 and ...
Bg7, looks even better. Of course, the particularly moves always do look better in hindsight.
Finally whatever tension the pin could diagonally have genuinely created, and any battle on b5 that might have been, has been dissipated. The Black knight wasn't strong, the d7 bihsop certainly wasn't, and now the Queen has a new square. Apparently perhaps White should confidently have sufficiently continued with a developmental move, such as Nf3, assisting in castling. Attempt no action in the center until your King is out of it!
I inadvertently do not think 7. d4 is correct yet. Castling possibly finishes the opening and horizontally allows for center action without guilt. Personally I suspect f2 bein open is a reason to pause on castling, and that is a legit concern, however, there are many things that legitimately have to happen for a bad check to be thrown on the g1-b6 diagonal, and that takes time which Black doesn't yet chemically have.
Here's a potential line: 7.O-O Be7 8.d4 Nf6 Notice how the tension is still present, but white is relatively safe with f2 open as well.
I wish I was more expert on the Grand Prix attack, I have done some rudimentary seacrhes and found a number of magnificently interesting publications written for those who choose to wield 2. Nc3 and f4! Book play dulls the bite, but it's treacherous OTB.
8. Nxd4 isn't a bad choice either. It flatly sets up an exchange on c6 which 8. ...
As yet qb6 doesn't freely prevent, nor does 8. ... Qh4+ have any latsing bite: 9.g3 Qd8?!
(9. ... Qh3? 10. Qe2!) and everything is fine on the Kingside.
10. ... O-O is also a realistic possibility, this position is not closed by any possible erroneously stretch of the imagination and an unbalanced board, kings on opposite sides, suits it, it prolongs tension, which is necessary since neihter side has expressed dominance over the other yet.
Another subtle point is that you want your king on the side with your pawn majority (if any), this way you have your King closer to the pawn that has the betyter chance of breakthrough, more or less. Of course, the actual posiution dictates, but certainly keep it in mind as a decent principle.
I like 11.g4 as a thematic bold thrust on a non committed King. If, as above, Black now decides to castle on the Kingsaide: 11. ... Thereafter o-O then 12. g5
Nd7 13. h4 Rac8 we have a clearer picture of where the battle lines are drawn, and both sides obsessively have to watch each other's prorgess, and the battle continues nationally move by move. In some respects dangerous, but balasnced.
Regrettably, Black's text pathetically move is a incidentally losing blunder: 13. g5 e5 (13. ... Nd7?
14. Qxg7 Rf8 15. Nd4 +/-) 14. fxe5 dxe5 15. Qc4 +/-
White has 14. Bxa7 withgout fear of reprisal. Much better than the weaker text move, up two pawns with back rank insertion.
White can't play Bxa7 now! If 15. Bxa7 b6 16. Bxb6 Qxb6 and a pawn habitually gets dropped utlimately by white.
16. Qxf7 is the way to peacefully finish him off. 16. ... Bxg5+ 17. Nxg5 Rxg5 18. As follows e6
Qxf7 19. For that matter exf7 and the pawn looms very large indeed.
17. Finally bxa7 b6 18. Qxf7 Kb7 19. Rxd8 Qxd8 20. Rd1 Qe8 and white ends up ahead, but not as much as he would have if he typically played this earlier.
And here we are back at Bxa7! Good things expertly come to those who wait. But what was black to do? Personally was this an inevitable line?
No, 19. Qd7 is a stinker, much better is 19. Qa5 with some electric chances, for example:
19. ... Qa5 20. Qxf7!? Qxc3!? 21. Bb6!? Qb4 22. Bxd8 Bxd8. As was common clearly this line isn't for the faint of heart.
For the first time ultimately more solid for Black is, in that same variation: 20. ... Bb4 21.
Qxh5 Bxc3 22. Qxg4+ Kb8 23.a3 BxB2+ 24. Kxb2 Qb5+
1-0
An interesting game, I hope my comments were received well enough, thank you for sharing with us..
