Mamedov - Smirnov | Tactical battle in Sicilian Alapin

Rauf Mamedov is very agrresive and tactical player. He is playing solely e4 as this gives him a lot of opprtunities to out tactic his opponent. Alapin variation is not that much principled as open sicilian, however this variation with nf6 has been there for the last five years. Rauf played opening stage as fast as possible having about 5 minutes advantage on the clock.
