Hm... strange comment, but ok, the goal is allways checkmate, but the road is not allways straightforward.

-In the Cicilian black usually plays on the queenside and white on the kingside, the most agressive games is usually if black castles kingside and white on the queenside, then both sides throw it all in against the oposite king :)

I'm just wondering if this Sicilian style of chess has different rules compared to regular chess. For example, is the main goal to put the opposing king in checkmate or should I be focusing on another task? Inishgt would be extremely appreciated. Thanks!
