A Chess Feast!

3 instructive chess games! In the first game, I take on the fearsome Sicilian Dragon with Black. In the second, I strategically outplay my opponent’s Caro-Kann by trapping his bishop right in the opening. Finally, in the third game, I face an opponent who looks dangerous. Rather than playing into his hands, I decide to take the sting out of the position by steering the game into an endgame. Sicilian Dragon (Black): 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5.
