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?

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...

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-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...
