Not at all a bad move. Allows White to seize control of the opening. Deals a psychological blow to Black, insofar as she is not able to play her favorite opening. Of course, I imagine Sicilian players study this line.

gud opening, but depends upon that how the person handles the situation later...

Good opening

looking good.

Well i used this opening without knowing that it excist , it useful for many case

PS: i'm begginer in chess & i need someone who can help & teach me for free

i think the better we play najdorf,you know why not dragon?

I don't get any of this.

ive used variation of sicilian defense my whole chess career of 25 years

gotta try it.

I played this opening and it is nasty against someone who is or not that good at the closed sicilian.I had mate 20 or more moves mated with my knights and a bishop.now I really need to play the sicilian again like I did long time ao.

I think Najdorf and Alapin are world's better...

i think i read somewhere that nc3 also stops d5 sac if you intend on playing f4... dunno it might be another opening...

i dont get why they move that knite does some one know?

It's very good opening

this open has been very useful for me as a student to use in the tournament. It helped me to improve a lot.

it is my favorit opening!

A popular opening used by most Grandmasters. As for me it is a very sharp opening usually aiming a counter-attack on the queen side wing. So far it is also dangerous if you under estimated it.
