Hi,

I'd like to train my black openings and check out if my concepts of this openings are right. I will play an Hyper Accelerated Dragon, a bit tricky sicilian if you do not know it.

So here are the first moves:

1.e4 c5

2.... I do not care about closed, open, or even maroczy bind. I just wanna go through any sicilian

Cheers

Sounds good to me! I'm up for a challenge!

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3

Me no like Open Sicilian

Hi

So, let's go in the mood

1.e4 c5 2.Cf3 g6!?

My favourtie trick

Good game

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 g6
3. f4

Here goes nothing!

Hi,

Well 3.f4.. Quite agressive player

In this case I would response by:

1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 g6 3.f4 Cc6

Sorry for the delay, I m not at home but at my grilfriends' So chess is not allowed

This move is not very usefull for now; I hope it would be later I hesitated with 3... e6 to avoid your pawn push. But this would be useless right now, after 4.f5 there is no risks yet. I ll do the move later

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 g6
3. f4 Nc6
4. Nf3

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 g6
3. f4 Nc6
4. Nf3 e6

Nothing exciting for now

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 g6
3. f4 Nc6
4. Nf3 e6
5. Bb5

Don't you want to play d6 and open your queenside bishop up instead of locking it in with e6?

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 g6
3. f4 Nc6
4. Nf3 e6
5. Bb5 Fg7

I'll answer the question by the following explanation (I hope it s a good one )

My aim by playing 4...e6 is to put my N on e7. The purpose of the knight would be to keep control on the case f5 and then avoiding the advance f5-f6. (Which is the thematic idea in the closed sicilian for white).
Playing 4...d6 is a loss of time (in my opinion) cause I want to play ASAP d5 (to open the center; and then gain a possible counter attack). You can observe the N on e7 play also a role in this plan.

OK, I admit my bishop is for now blocked on the queen side. However, I have some alternative with for example a fianchetto on the queen side (since you bishop is not in fianchetto on the king side.) Of course, I could exploit my white bishop with a trade of the d pawns and the e pawns after d5

I hope i explained you the main idea by playing 4...e6 and not 4...d6.

I don't get the idea of playing 5.Bb5. I think you wont trade your bishop for my N (I ll then gain the bishops' pair). Having a double pawn on the C file is not so bad, since I can play immediatly d5! and then trade my double pawn, or gain space if you plan e5. Moreover with e5 you cant play anymore f5.
In the closed sicilian, usually your bishop comes on c4 to control the d5 square and put pression on my kingside. (the e6 pawn is once more useful there )
Maybe I m totally wrong and you have an other idea . Maybe a sort of Rossolimo (I know almost nothing about this opening )

1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 g6
3. f4 Nc6
4. Nf3 e6
5. Bb5 Bg7
6. d3

Here's why I chose Bb5

a) Getting the bishop developed before I play d3, which would lock in the bishop for a number of moves
b) If you do move your d-pawn, then your knight on c6 is pinned.
c) Since you've already played e6, I wouldn't want to put the bishop on c4 because of d5.

I don't know the Rossolimo Opening either
