I'll post it over there, but hopefully we can have a different representative for each game (I'm already covering the OzChess game).

I vote for 2...e6, with the intention of playing the Kan or Taimanov depending on what our forum members are more comfortable with. In my opinion this would be at least as good a choice for correspondence as 2...d6 or 2...Nc6 since the Kan and Taimanov are both quite solid Sicilian variations. |

Shoudn't Arrogant-One cover the OzChess game, considering he's already a member there?
My vote is for e6. My Sicilian variation of choice is the Sicilian Marshall, which is very similar to the French Defense. 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 d5.

I loathe both the French and e6-Sicilians. I wouldn't mind a Dragon, but I'd like something a bit more classical.
I vote 2. ... Nc6.

Currently the votes are:
2...e6: 2 votes (50%)
2...d6: 1 vote (25%)
2...Nc6: 1 vote (25%)
I don't really mind which move is played as I have experience in each of these lines with both colours. |

I'd change my vote to d6 in the case that makes d6 our next move.
