I think it is a good opening. OPens lines for queen side play. Originally, I thought I made it up myself until I looked it up and saw someone already made it. :(
If accepted, it prevents black from trading its C pawn for whites central D pawn.
The drawbacks is that it is obvious white will not castle queenside.
Nice. I rarely play e4 though so, in turn, I rarely see the sicilian. The few times I have encountered it though I have played the Halasz Gambit. I will post it in its own thread. 1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 f4!
