Opening idea for Vote Chess

Hello Golden Checkmate Kings, today I am showing you the best way to beat the Sicilian. I first found out about this idea from @Illingworth‘s blog and tried it in my games and it worked well. 

The idea behind Ba4! is to be ready for a6 followed by b5. Now if they play a6 at any point then you can just play c4 and have a Maróczy Bind pawn structure. At first I made the mistake of playing c4 right away, but now I wait until they play a6. White will usually castle short, have a rook on e1 and then begin with queenside development. Don't play Nc3? and block the c pawn or else the whole point of Ba4 will be wasted!

Here is an interesting trap which could happen:
