		1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3. b4 What is the best option for black after  1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3. b4 ? Take the pawn and give withe a nice centre? Thanks for your answers. Started 04/30/05 at 17:20:46 by blitzbeest	1	1587	06/23/05 at 19:51:06 By: lost highway

		'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! After 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nf6 he recommends 3. Nc3 d5 4. exd5... Started 03/01/06 at 13:45:47 by GMTonyKosten	1	2448	03/01/06 at 20:18:30 By: Sacapawn
		1 e4 c5  2 e5 Sicilian Hello all, Does anyone know anything about 2 e5 against the Sicilian Defense? I tried it on ICC, and it seems to work. Also, there is a master at the Marshall Chess Club, Yefim Treger, who plays ... Started 09/17/07 at 14:26:20 by Gambit « Pages 1 2 all »	21	18306	10/22/08 at 15:44:19 By: CheckMate
		1 e4 c5 2 Bc4 Everybody laughs at this line, myself included (does it even have a name?). But in Marin's book 1 c4 e5, he calls the line 2 g3 Nf6 3 Nc3 Nc6 4 Bg2 Bc5 the Karpov variation (is this standard?) and cla...

		1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 g6 Is there any way White can gain an advantage after 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 g6 without going into the Open Sicilian, 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4? The main alternatives are 3 d4 cxd4 4 Qxd4, 3 c3, and 3 Bc4 (3 Nc3 and 3 c4 ... Started 11/10/10 at 07:38:13 by Anonymous3 « Pages 1 2 3 all »	33	20797	05/30/11 at 13:44:26 By: nimzo5
		1. e4 c5 2. Bc4...now what? 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? Started 01/31/07 at 18:04:40 by AcuWill	10	11487	01/31/07 at 23:08:03 By: kylemeister
		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...

		1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. b3 I set up a topic on what to do against 2...e6, and alumbrado recommended 3. b3 'and Black should be OK' Well I think White is doing well after 3. b3.

		1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3!? I have started playing this line as White and using it primarily to avoid the Sveshnikov. I am fine with 3...e5, e6, d6, and Nf6 but am curious what to do against 3...g6. 4. d4 leads to an accelerated...

		1. e4 c5 2. Sf3 e6 3. g3 a6 This 3. g3 is getting popular, and I was thinking about how a Kan player who is also a Najdorf player can exploit this for an advantage. Even if the Kan player is no Najdorf player, if s/he is willing... Started 05/17/15 at 04:43:47 by DenVerdsligeRejsende	4	4343	06/17/15 at 17:37:50 By: ErictheRed

		1.e4 c5 2.b3 Has anyone ever seen this? It kind of piqued my interest, but I've never seen it before. Any help with ideas and variations would be appreciated. Thanks very much. Regards, Jeff Started 02/16/05 at 06:50:41 by mogath « Pages 1 2 3 all »	30	19708	06/20/06 at 04:31:33 By: BladezII
