When preparation obsession reaches its peak in modern chess, the strongest players seek not just good positions, but positions their opponents haven't studied. GM Luis Paulo Supi's third and final installment of his Sicilian repertoire introduces a deceptively simple concept: strategic postponement. After 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6, instead of committing immediately with 3.Bb5 (Rossolimo) or 3.d4 (Open Sicilian), White plays 3.Nc3—a move that appears modest but fundamentally reshapes Black's decision-making process.
The brilliance lies not in the move itself, but in what it denies. Black cannot enter the Sveshnikov. The Taimanov and Four Knights players find themselves steered into unfamiliar territory. Even the Accelerated Dragon enthusiast must reconsider, as White has carefully retained the option to transpose—or to avoid transposition entirely. This is chess as a psychological weapon: your opponent knows the main lines, but suddenly those lines are unavailable, and the alternatives feel uncomfortable.

When Magnus Carlsen deployed an opening idea against Firouzja, the chess world took notice. But the story of 3.Bd3 against the Sicilian with 2...e6 begins earlier—in the quiet analytical work of GM Luis Paulo Supi during the pandemic. While tournaments were suspended and the chess world moved online, Supi was perfecting a weapon that would consistently deliver winning positions even against very strong opposition. The move looked unassuming - 3.Bd3. No sharp tactical blow, no forcing continuation—just a bishop quietly placed on d3. Yet this simple developing move contains a profound strategic challenge that Black must answer correctly or face persistent pressure.

Coming from a grandmaster who's spent years perfecting his King's Indian repertoire – including deploying it against elite players like Anish Giri at the 2024 Olympiad – that's a statement worth taking seriously.

We are happy to welcome our new author - the famous GM Luis Supi (currently number one in Brazil with a rating of 2608). In his first project for Modern Chess, GM Supi covers his favorite opening - the Italian Game. In a two-part series, he will provide an extremely practical and easy-to-learn repertoire for White. Moreover, Supi reveals his Italian preparation for the Wijk an Zee 2023!
The writing style of GM Supi is really unique. Instead of overloading the material with endless lines, he uses a lot of verbal explanations, so that you can start feeling the spirit of the opening. Usually, the suggested lines are quite rare, practically unexplored, and based on understanding.
