Is there a video on this anti sicilian?
I seem to remember there was either a Foxy or Roman video on the following line in the sicilian. It is where white plays nc3 then bb5 (it might be after the moved nf3, nc3 then bb5). Well if there was...

Is 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.Bb5 simply a bit better for White?
Hello,
What are your opinions on this Anti-Sicilian (1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.Bb5)?
