Thanks to Hugh Brodie and Luc Gauthier, we now have over 900 games from the Quebec Open on Canbase. I chose one of these games for the GOTW, and I believe you will enjoy it as much as I did.

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 Nc6 {Black decides to go for
the Classical Sicilian, which leaves a wide array of options for White.} 6. Be3
{Although this move has been played by strong players in the past, it is often
considered as not as ambitious as the most common moves (Bg5 or Bc4).} e6 (6...
Ng4 {Is often seen and White must either move again the bishop or be ready to
exchange it for the knight.}) (6... e5 {And then both Nb3 and Nf3 are possible.
In most cases, however, White will not be able to prevent Black from playing
d5 and equalizing.}) 7. f3 {Avoiding the lines with Ng4. Be2 would also have
done the job.} a6 8. Qd2 Qc7 9. O-O-O Be7 10. g4 {We now have reached a very
common setup in Sicilians. White has castled long and is launching its attack
on Black's king. Meanwhile, Black must decide whether it is best to castle or
leave its king in the center. It must also not lose time to launch an attack
by playing b5 very soon.} b5 11. h4 Bb7 12. h5 $2 {This move is simply not
useful in the position. White does not threathen to play h6 and so Black now
has one more tempo to either launch an attack or solidify its king side.} Nd7
$2 {Missing a nice opportunity} (12... h6 {And it's not clear how White
continues. For instance,} 13. g5 hxg5 14. Bxg5 b4 {And Black is more than fine.
}) ({Also worth considering was} 12... Nxd4 13. Bxd4 e5 14. Be3 d5) 13. g5 $2 (
13. h6 g6 14. Nxc6 Bxc6 15. Qd4 {Would have given White an edge}) 13... b4 14.
Na4 $5 (14. Nce2 {Was the normal retreat} Nde5 15. Kb1 {And the position is
quite balanced.}) 14... Qa5 $2 {Again missing an opportunity to seize control
of the center. It seems like Black forgot that in most Sicilians, pushing d5
can give a good edge to Black.} (14... Rc8 15. Rh2 d5) 15. b3 Rd8 (15... Nc5
16. Nxc6 Bxc6 17. Nxc5 dxc5 18. Qh2 $16) 16. Rg1 ({Black doesn't win much by
playing d5 anymore, so White could have played a quiet move} 16. Kb1 d5 17.
exd5 Nxd4 18. Bxd4 Bxd5 19. Qf4 $16) 16... Nc5 17. g6 $5 {An interesting, but
risky move.} hxg6 18. hxg6 Nxa4 (18... f6 {Was more solid, although the e6
pawn may become a target.}) 19. gxf7+ Kxf7 20. bxa4 {White's king is somewhat
exposed, but Black has no time to take advantage of it.} Bf6 21. Bc4 d5 $6 {
Black is probably still hoping to take advantage of the precarious situation
of White's king, but this will not work.} (21... Nxd4 22. Bxd4 Bxd4 23. Qxd4
Qe5 24. Qxe5 dxe5 {And black may be able to hold, although it would not be
easy.}) 22. exd5 Nxd4 $2 {Giving away the game.} (22... exd5 23. Nxc6 Bxc6 24.
Bb3 {And White is much better, but the game is not over.}) 23. Bxd4 {White now
has a lot of pressure on both e6 and g7.} Bxd5 24. Qf4 $1 Rh4 25. Rxg7+ {A
nice finish to a very tactical game.} 1-0
