1. e4 c5 2. d4 cxd4 3. Nf3 Move order issues
1. e4 c5 2. d4 cxd4 3. Nf3
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 |

What can be learned from 2. Na3 vs. the Sicilian
I don't see any "world class" (2690+) players using 2. Na3 in the last 5 years. So the flirtation is over, but can we find a pattern against which Na3 is appropriate for White as part of an anti-Sici...

Please consider the Anti c3 sicilian!!!
Short ago I was playing in a tournament and my game went 1.e4 e6 2.d4 c5! and after 3Nf3 cxd4 I was in an open sicilian. What do you do to avoid this line?
