O’Kelly Sicilian 3 c3! e6: Advance French transpos
The O’Kelly Sicilian (1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 a6) is sometimes seen as inferior, even dubious, on account of 3 c3!. But if, after 3 …e6 4 d4 d5, Black is happy with 5 ed ed (after which AFAIK best for both is E...

Anti-Sicilian to avoid Najdorf
Hello folks,
as white, my biggest challenge is to play against the Najdorf, because after some years of practice and thorough analysis (also the rare 6th moves) I think it’s the best and dynamic... Started 11/10/21 at 08:14:16 by Dobby |

The Modern Anti Sicilan book by Sergei Soloviov
I'm curious on any thoughts about this title. This is a thick theory book at more than 500 pages on 1.e4 c5 2.a3!? discussing various tries by Black to refute the a3 variation. Kotronias in his anti S...

Move order question: Reaching the Taimanov
Hello everyone,
I wasn't sure where to put this thread. This is as much about anti-sicilians as it is about open sicilians. Anyway, the situation is this: I consider taking up the sicilian a... Started 12/28/14 at 16:38:46 by Pale Horse, Pale Rider |

2...d6 4.Qxd4 curiosity
I think this belongs here, but I'm not sure, as I was told that after 3.d4 is not an anti-sicilian anymore.

Qe2/Rd1 idea in Sicilian KIA
Using a Kings Indian Attack approach against the Sicilian with 2 .. e6 has been popular since the 1950s, game 1 of Fischer's 60 Memorable Games for instance. The starting move of 3 d3 is a bit suspect...

If white plays both the open sicilian and the morra, can he freely choose the one or the other no matter black's reply on move 3? Is there some drawback to this move... Started 05/01/11 at 20:36:05 by Highfive |

Is there any merit in 3.e5?
I get sick of the Sicilian sometimes, so in a recent blitz game I decided to "refute it by force". Clearly I managed to catch my opponent by surprise:
