When the Knight is moved to d7 and cuts off the black queen's bishop from defense of e6 before Black has castled, White can often sacrifice the bishop on e6 in many variations, because when the knight recaptures it forks the queen and black's KNP, trapping the king in the center and disrupting Black's development. White would have also 2 pawns for the piece, so the risk would be minimal and White would achieve a strong initiative. } 10. Be3 {Black's risky Nbd7 pays off. I refrain from the principled Bxe6. I didn't like that after 10.Bxe6 fe 11. Nxe6...Black could play ...Qb6+, avoiding the loss of his KNP. I nevertheless should have played the sac. Often in the Sicilian White must punish Black's "unprincipled" play with a sacrifice or risk squandering the initiative.} Nc5 11. Qf3 b5 12. e5 Bb7 13. Qg3 Nh5 14. Qg4 g6 15. f5 dxe5 16.
