How To Crush The Sicilian In 3 Check: 4. d5 Part 2 (Black Doesn't Check on b4)

In Part 1 I demonstrated how to play when Black goes for the Queen check on b4. This time I will show how to play when Black decides not to go for this check and instead focuses on central expansion and/or quick development.  

Plans and ideas:

• Push your pawn to e5 to support Nd6+ in the future.
• Play actively in the center after going for the Knight check on d6. Don't give Black time to successfully advance in the center.
• If Black does try to advance in the center before castling their King then figure out the best way to sacrifice one or more of your pieces in the center to rip open lines of attack. 
• Put your light squared Bishop on d3 to prevent Black from castling Kingside due to the threat of Bxh7+.
• Give Black's Queen the chance to check on b4 because in exchange you will get rapid development.
• Always be on the lookout for deflection tactics to get checks.
• If Black castles Queenside then always sacrifice your Bishop on a6 to destroy Black's defense around their King. Follow up the sacrifice with Qd3 or Qe2.
• You can usually afford to sacrifice multiple pieces for a 2nd check or to maintain the initiative in this opening due to the vulnerability of Black's King. You should have enough resources in reserve to get a third check.
• Always focus on creating threats towards Black's King. The initiative is very important so try to avoid playing passive moves whenever possible.

Here are some games where Black castles Queenside:
