    I have a bit of a soft spot for this opening, as white. It's one of these ones which 'play themselves'. The main development moves happen (almost) regardless of what the other guy does, ie, an early Bg2, f4, Be3, Nf3, d3, O-O, and maybe Qd2 (if black has fianchettoed kingside, to trade off dark-squared bishops).

    An early-ish e5 seems alright too - seems like a good crack at black's structure, grabs light squares for white's bishop, and threatens to box in black's fianchettoed bishop.

    It's just a shame that all I seem to ever get is 1. e4 e5 Tongue Out

    I usually use the Sicilian defen normal variation, or the dragon variation.

    This variation looks promising against a variation where white plays an early Be3 thereby giving you a d5 break with tempo due to the fork on d4.  If white reserves the Be3 move opting for a kingside attack this may not be so effective.

    Its a great weapon against somebody used to playing normal Sicilian. Once you understand the stategic concepts the opening practically plays itself.

    Just need to understand the idea behind this opening. Surely white will have some surprises for black in this variation
