Punishing 2.Bc4 in the Sicilian

    I always hate to meet the newbie move 2.Bc4 against the Sicilian because while it should be objectively bad, the bishop becomes annoying when I try to get my d5 break in. In the following bullet game, however, I just played for counterplay on the wings and in the end I proved the bishop was missed on the kingside with a nice tactic.

    I never found 2.Bc4 annoying as it still allows me to develop my Dragon.

    Thanks OneLastBreath, it's nice how far natural moves can get you in the (closed) Sicilian. My opponent played rather aimlessly and 11.exf5 eased my task but I didn't expect to win like this :)
