Anatomy of a win: FM Rick Frischmann annotates

We’re featuring another insightful submission from German FM Rick Frischmann, this time his 7th round win over former Bundesliga player Ulrich Markmann. Frischmann, playing White, opted for 1.e4 and maneuvered through the Sicilian Alapin (B22). His commentary illuminates each twist and tactical nuance, including a cute rook sacrifice, soon leading to Black’s resignation.
