A Bust to the Sicilian Defense

I also have about 60-70% score vs Sicilian with my grand prix against approx. 1600 otb opposition. So I also think I busted it.

What’s the Grand Prix is that where you play an early f4? 

That also seems like a good response. Go after black on his undeveloped kingside. It’s probably inaccurate though because it gives black drawing chances.

Perhaps the grand prix is a forced win as well. I don’t know since I don’t play it. I’ll defer to your expertise on the line

so you try to refute something playing blitz and bullet, yeah 3 minutes non increment  are the rules of thumb 4 the theory, so i will win a bullet game with e4? a5!!as black and say it refutes e4 cause e4 fails to occupie the Queen side

Has been played by me for almost a year consistently now. With enourmous successes. 

I busted a move once...

JoseCarlos I don’t blame you for being skeptical. I do ask that you keep an open mind though. 

I looked at your games and I see you really struggle against the Sicilian Defense, as black scores almost 50% against you with it. My recommendation to you would be to take up the Alapin and learn from the games, analysis, and tips I have posted in this thread so that way you can start scoring well against the Sicilian too!

The practical upside for the Grand Prix is that it may start slowly, but suddenly explodes into a devastating attack like the “boiling frog”.

Yes the Alapin is still a forced win after 2. Nf6. I just don’t personally enjoy those lines as much as the 2. d5 lines

i learnt but i dont really believe but yeah i must admit this is the most informative and instructional thread here in chess.com i really learnt some concepts and ideas thank u

Good post. yes 1. c5 looks like a useless move against the Grand Prix since whites attack is coming  on the kingside

i play sicilian dragon and against grand prix you should play with e6 and Ne7 and when White threathens f5 Black plays F5 with e6 and g6 support (also the rook and the knight)

Instead of overpowering c5, just go around it! Nc3, f4, Nf3, and such

Okay let's actually bust this kids arguments. Show us as a wining line, there must be plenty as it's forced right?

Im still trying to decide what is more amusing. 

Someones claim that they have busted the Sicilian with speed chess games against low rated competition.

People actually arguing over the claim.

Is there some reason to rule out mistakes (by your opponents) as an explanation for your victories?

It's so stupid I feel the urge to do something about it (and I have nothing to do right now honestly)

Low rated competition? Speed chess? I have sacked a knight vs 1800 otb in a local chess club ladder game at 90/30 sd60 time control in the Grand Prix

AND WON

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

4. Nf3? 4. d4 seems a bit better to me
