Matulovic B21

B21 is the Encyclopedia of Chess Openings (ECO) code for the Sicilian with 2.d4 and 2.f4. The 2.d4 branch is the Smith-Morra gambit, even though some practitioners delay the d4 for another move, just to see what black has in mind first; i.e. 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 exd4 4.c3.... Matulovic was one of the better known practitioners of the Smith Morra gambit, so I thought I would share a link to his games in this opening from Chessgames.com. Here is the link. Enjoy.
