Recently I have tried the closed sicilian setup against all of black's first move responses. Like the KIA but with Nc3 Ne2 and f4 as the key moves instead. Even when black does not go for the sicilian! Here is a tournament where I used this strategy all the way. Link to the tournament which is still going on: https://www.chess.com/tournaments/pairings?id=133930&round=1

 
 
This is my closed sicilian strategy for white. Let me know what you think in the comments. Smile
