    I first will start by saying I hate the sicilian.  I never play it unless it is against weak opponents, not becuase I don't trust its results but because I am just personally unhandy with it and the bizzilion variations.  That said I still occasionally study it more from whites perscpective.

    I was just wondering given the following line how one should continue, what is the plan?  I am not a chess wizard so feel free to cut up what little annalysis I have done and please offer ideas.

    hehe technical difficulties,, it erased my thoughts so I might have missed something the second time.  I also left some loose ends either because I thought they would end similiarly to what I already commented on or :) because I was unsure what to say

    For clarification I am wondering what white should do from what here is given as move 6. Bb3, b5.  The rest of the lines are just thoughts and meditations

    I don't know this line at all but I just wonder about 4.fxe6... is that the recommended move?  I'd consider leaving the f pawn right there. I'd probably play 4.0-0 or d3.

    errr, scratch all that, I somehow neglected his N on e7 -- as I said, I don't know this line at all...

    Why are you trying to sac a pawn so early in this position?  You havent castled, havent completed development, and the sac makes no sense.

    How about you join the grand prix attack group, we can help you there :)

    The modern approach is to play Bb5 instead of Bc4.

    I think the idea is to gain the initiative on an attack.  Finding an affective attack is part of what I am having trouble finding

    The Bc4 line is pretty much thrown to the trashbin, as you is shown with ..b5!. The above post mentioned Bb5 as the new aproach which is a bit more positional and the a3-b4 lines as well are something to look into.

    I was just revisiting this post and wondering about 11. e5 (move 3 here) blocking the diagonal and defending the d file by threatening en passant.  An attack with blacks f pawn would win out but leave an ugly scar in its doing.
