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...

What do you do against 2...e6?
I am an e4 player and against 1.e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6/Nc6 play the Bb5 Sicilian and win almost every time. But what should I do against 2...e6?
I have looked at the KIA but it is not my style. I do not...

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....

Is it anything wrong with the move order 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 g6 ?

Is this the pre...
