Then use dat line in practice. Does it work? Wanna play?
I am happy to host a match between you and stockfish.
I accept challenge. Let’s see what stockfish has. Playing now.
Sorry but my current computer resources only allow me to host one match between stockfish and staples13. You can always run stockfish on your own computer and play it. Do let us know about your game!
I'm unfollowing this thread becouse it's so stupid, this guy is cheater a who thinks that he debunked the Sicilian with 2.c3 wich is not even the best move. Also he thinks he is an expert is the Alapin when he is probably the worst at the Alapin, he is an expert at bullshit.
Pathetic.

This post deserves a ban for the most unique combination of lies, baiting, attacks, and stupidity in the most efficient number of words.
By the way how would you explain your results against 1. e4 c5 2. c3 Nf6 3. e5 Nd5 ? You scored roughly half-half against this line, but you claim that 2... Nf6 is winning for white.

Why would black play 14...Qc7? What if 14...Qa4 15. b3 Qa3 instead?
Black can always play differently. In which case he merely loses differently
Why? Please justify your every comment if you want this discussion to be constructive.

Just because I’m a moron who frequently blunders winning positions in the 2. Nf6 line doesn’t change the fact that it’s winning

Claiming that Alapin is winning for a million times does not justify the statement.
I've tended to say that the Sicilian refutes 1. e4. However, two common forms of the Sicilian, the Najdorf and the Schevenigen, are apparently just as bad for Black as they are for White. If Black wants to play the Sicilian and follow sound opening principles, so that unlike White, he has some tiny room left for error, though, I've recently learned that there is an opening variation called the "Richter-Rauzer" that is available.
But I've also recently learned that if White is so injudicious as to play 1. e4, Black can make things very difficult for him even without playing the Sicilian. There is also the Pirc, which some of you may know as the Ufimtsev Defense. Of course, in that case, White may play the Austrian Attack, and entertain some hopes for equality.

Indeed, this line is one of the soundest and easiest for Black. Probably not terribly ambitious, but a clean equalizer.
However, I think you are simply wasting your time by trying to persuade staples about pretty much everything reasonable.
If staples thought this is reasonable I wouldn't have to do this, right? 
After all I can also learn from the various lines suggested by Stockfish, why some work and why some doesn't. I don't think it is a total waste of time.
Just ask to MVL is Sicilian is busted, he will laugh
What is dat 4. Nf3???
What is dat 4. Nf3???
It means that the horsie jumps from g1 to f3.
Ain't that a legal move?
A bad move.
A bad move.
Total nonsense.
Actually it is a bit more flexible than 4.d4, as white may delay this pawn move for a while, e.g. in favour of Bc4.
But usually both 4.d4 and 4.Nf3 end up to the same positions.
d4 cxd4 Bc4!
… After 2. d5 the game normally proceeds 3. exd5 Qxd5 4. d4. ... If the natural Nc6 is played white simply takes on c5 and black ... can sacrifice the pawn and not allow white to castle with Qxd1. ... In the Qxd1 line there is insufficient compensation for the loss of the pawn, …

8. Bxd5 and then I’d like to make a conditional move of 9. Nc3 when stockfish plays 8. Qxd5
