The Sicilian defense is a beast so expect this blog to be updated after publishing so come back regularly 

Main introduction:
The Sicilian defense is a very solid and strategic opening 

                            starting with the quick e4

                          looks like this 

                    But the main variations are very tricky and hard to grasp in this blog I will shed some light. Note I am not a master at this opening unlike my Reti blog and very few times go to its main lines. Now lets look at the mainline of the Sicilian called the Alapin Variation

                                          which is this

           

                                     Ok now we move on to the main portion let check the main idea's

Main Idea's:
So the Sicilian to know its main idea's we need to find the mainlines

these include the Sicilian Dragon. Open Sicilian, and Closed Sicilian

                                     let do some games 

so I only had one checkmate game but there was a brilliant and this game had my first brilliant game

                            

Now a master game

                                                          

And then they resigned. That game was a Sicilian closed. But how do you get to it? Its simple

                                                 

                                  There now what's the open variation?

                

                              There you go finally for the first draft. We have the Sicilian dragon! The beast itself. So what is it? Its complex so in my next amendment I will explain in depth step by step its usages of the Dragon variation.
