		What is 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 e5 called? National Master Yefim Treger of New York regularly plays 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 4 e5 against the Sicilian Defense. My question is, what is the name of this variation? Started 11/21/24 at 05:11:06 by Gambit	6	1241	02/26/25 at 23:17:58 By: Gambit
		(Smith-)Morra ...Nc6/d6/a6 Just some historical notes. In the latest Anti-Sicilians update, IM Palliser refers to this line as an old suggestion of Joe Gallagher (who as I recall advocated it in an anti-anti-Sicilians book...

		Question about the so-called anti-Sveshnikov Hello, fellow chess geniuses: What do y'all think of this line: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 e5 4. Bc4 d6 5. 0-0 Be7 6. d3 Nf6 7. Ng5 0-0 8. f4 exf 9.

		Taming the Sicilian? I seem to remember something about a book which suggested playing g3 (maybe around move 6?) as White, but also including d4 as per an open sicilian.  Couldn't seem to find anything about this idea/boo...

		Beating the Anti-Sicilians By Vassilios Kotronias As I didn't find by a manual and automatic search any match to the book, this topic is opened here for more than my question.

		Anti-Sicilians Repertoire (black side) I am working in an active repertoire for blacks vs 1.e4 using the Sveshnikov Sicilian as a main line. I would also cover the tricks of Anti-Sveshnikov Lines.

		Setups vs Closed Sicilian and Grand Prix Can someone explain to me what is the difference between the various black setups against the closed sicilian and grand prix. It seems like Bg7 with Nf6 is one setup and another puts the knight on e7.... Started 02/07/11 at 10:59:38 by kevinfat	7	8800	02/09/11 at 13:12:53 By: zoo - Ex Member
		What do people think of 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.c3 So one of the most popular lines I've faced as white when I use the 2.c3 variation is 2..d5.  It seems I can avoid this continuation by playing 2.Nf6 d6 3.c3 .. as black now would not want to play d5....

		The Anti-Anti-Sicilian: 1...g6! Before I get shouted and/or beaten down for posting in the wrong forum, let me discuss this idea.  For a while now I have been using 1...c5 and 2...g6 against 1.e4 with pretty good success.  This has ...

		Which is better Closed Sicilian or 2.c3 Sicilian? Hi, I am thinking of adding an Anti-Sicilian to my repertoire to give me a change from the Open Sicilian.  I have narrowed down my choice to the above two and would welcome some advice or comments on ...

		1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.g3 Hello, What do you think about this variant for white?after 3...d5 is sharp play(Carlsen-Radjabov), but it is good. What about 3...Nc6?what is plan for white?do you know any good games? Started 06/30/09 at 08:50:03 by dragonman	14	11206	09/10/09 at 05:14:37 By: Flick Er12

		Avoid being move-ordered Hi guys! So, I am a Najdorf player and have always played 2...a6 in reply to 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3.

		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... Started 01/19/13 at 12:38:22 by RdC	11	7889	01/20/13 at 18:07:24 By: kylemeister

		The anti-anti-Alapin Gambit In their book "The Anti-Alapin Gambit" authors Hansen and Lakdawala dismiss 5.Nc3 after 2.c3 d5 3.exd5 Nf6?! (my evaluation) 4.Bb5+ Nbd7 as "harmless".  Even if they are right, what's the harm in Whit... Started 03/19/23 at 11:10:15 by George Jempty	4	2480	07/22/23 at 13:15:08 By: bragesjo
		'Experts vs' the Nimzowitsch Variation Looking at Jacob Aagaard's line against the Nimzowitsch in Experts vs the Sicilian I came across a position that looked quite dodgy for White!
