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:

Any books on this anti sicilian?
I was wondering if there are any books out there on the White set up of e4, nf3, then on move 3 nc3. White then either plays bb5 or e5 sometimes. It gets kind of tricky. I did see this on a video I ha...

I have been encountering this quite a bit. I don't have any sicilian books, but I have yet to find a reference to this on a website. Anyone have any good theory to this?
