I have my own pet line in the Kan (1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 e6 3 d4 cd 4 Nd4 Qb6 (this I call the Black Widow Wink) 5 Nb3 Qc7 6 Nc3 a6) and I score well with it, especially if white tries to punnish the move order. There are several other hardly explored alternatives. Like early Bc5 and returning to e7, or an early Nc6 (i.e. the Grivas sicilian).

Besides the Kan is pretty decent, although you need to be prepared to defend against a white initiative for some time. Often after a though defense the reward follows. Smiley.
