Alright group. I'm looking for some ideas. Although I've never seriously studied Sicilian Defense in much depth, lately I have been experimenting with some Bobby Fischer-like ideas. The following game is a typical game that I've encountered. The thing that I don't like about White's position is the light-squared bishop. It's rather useless. I do like, however, that I can get one of my knights to the king side pretty quickly. How would you proceed as White? Should White castle king side or queen side? What ideas are good if White castles queen side? If White castles king side? I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

This is an interesting opening that I have grown fond of using against the Caro-Kann Defense. I know a lot of old school positional players will not like this one, but there is learning value in unorthodox positions. This could be a surprise weapon against an unprepared opponent, but not something that I would recommend using all the time. Tell me how you think white should continue.
