In his video series, Dorian Rogozenco presents the encounter between Rashid Nezhmetdinov and Oleg Chernikov (Rostov-on-Don 1962), a game that had a prominent predecessor: a year earlier, the same variation in the Accelerated Dragon was played in Fischer-Reshevsky - but after his opponent's eleventh move (11...Bf6)...
... Fischer couldn't find a bright idea, the game continued 12.Qg4 d6 13.Qd1 Nc6 14.Qd3 b6 and the game ended in a draw a couple of moves later
Rashid Nezhmetdinov, on the other hand, thought for a long time and came up with a queen sacrifice that was very surprising - not just for his opponent: 12.Qxf6! White only gets two pieces for the queen after 12...Ne2+ 13.Nxe2 exf6 14.Nc3 Re8 15.Nd5. But thanks to his much better piece play and control over the black squares, he subsequently managed to mount a strong kingside attack: After 15...Re6 16.Bd4 Kg7 17.Rad1 it becomes clear that Black has big problems developing his queenside. White, on the other hand, has free play against his opponent's king and won a "totally impressive game" in 33 moves!
Nezhmetdinov's sacrifice was widely discussed and often questioned. He himself
always stood by his idea, and if you check the variation today with modern engines, you'll
realise that at the least, they don't see White at a disadvantage after the sacrifice!

And Daniel King presents a trend in the Open Sici¬lian - after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Qxd4 Nc6 White moves again with the queen: 5.Qe3 or 5.Qd3.
