Just earlier today I in the national league I deviated from my normal Sicilian and faced:
1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Be3 So I figure I should contribute
I didn't know anything about it but since I always take the Morra and BDG pawn I decided that it couldn't be much worse. The game continued:
3...dxe4 4 f3 exf3 5 Nxf3 Nf6 6 Bd3 Be7 7 O-O O-O
reaching a position where if Nc3 is swapped with Be3 it is the BDG, which continues Bg5 etc. In any case, I was here going to play 8...c5 almost regardless of what white played
8 Ne5 c5 9 c3 (9 dxc5 Qc7/Qd5) 9...cxd4 10 cxd4 Nc6! 11 Kh1!? (11 Nxc6 bxc6 is a c3 sicilian type position where white is missing his f2 pawn. 11 Ng4 Nxg4 12 Qxg4 f5 would have been nice) 11...Nxe5 12 dxe5 Nd7 (12...Nd5!? 13 Bd4 Nb4 14 Be4 Nc6 forcing more exchanges was simpler and much better for black, but I had missed a trick) 13 Bd4 (13 Bf4 Nc5)
I had been aiming for this position and here made a mistake with 13...Bc5?! (13... Nb8-c6 is the computers nice suggestion) missing that while 14 Bxh7+ Kxh7 15 Qh5+ Kg8 16 Rf4 Bxd4 17 Rh4 f6! is winning for black, white can instead play:
14 Bxh7+ Kxh7 15 Qc2+! Kg8 16 Bxc5 and here 16...Qc7 17 Rc1 Nxc5 18 Qxc5 Qxc5 19 Rxc5 Bd7 is only a little better for black but not a disaster for white.
Fortunately (for me) my opponent instead played 14 Bxh7+ Kxh7 15 Bxc5?? Nxc5 16 Qc2+ Qd3 0-1
So while I did indeed fall into a "trap" (that gave me slightly nicer ending) despite knowing nothing about the theory I reached a comfortably better position (and my opponent fell into a bigger trap). I can't say I will spend any more time studying the line as a result. (my opponent was rated around 2000)
