I like It.

Strong players may use this and achieve surprise and initiative, but weaker

players should be very careful in such "Kasparovian" openings.

theoretically unsound. it offers black leeway in development which if carried agressively , leaves white little chance of maintaining the balance.

Kasparov choosed it so much when he was playing Black Against Anand, in 1995 Champion,

nice

The Alapin Variation, sometimes called the c3-Sicilian. Unlike Open Sicilian positions, White wants to maintain two center pawns, playing d2-d4 and recapturing with the c-pawn after c5xd4.

a bad idea for white to disturb the good refutation of sicilian lovers, i think with good play black has equal chances, black is ok by d5!!

A wonderful response to the Sicilian, and one I tend to play often, particularly when I know my opponent has deep, theoretical knowledge of the Sicilian. I think there's a pretty strong psychological stab in playing something like this. Of course, I would imagine any Sicilian-player worth his/her weight in salt would be familiar with 2. c3, but anyhoo.

Wha do u guyz think about the caro-kann, it sounds ok for me but im juz a intermediate player... i would like to seek experts like u guys, hope i can get some opinion.. ? :D

sometimes 2... d6 3. Nf6 g6 3. d4 cxd5 4. cxd5 Bg7

That is what white hopes for anyway, since it gives white a huge amount of control over the center. I just learned this opening (2 days ago), and I love it!

good

not bad

this is definitely a very nice opening for white because i have seen this opening when Garry kasparov challenged the deep blue. It gives an opening for the queen and it can directly attack the king side of black esecially in the end game. it is a win for white.

A famous opening.

never thought about that opening

I think this opening is playable like any other. It's a matter of taste.

Awesome

is ok

good start!
