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

... I score 70 % against the Sicilian, so yes I have busted it
Would a person score 100% with knowledge of how to force a win?
Yes, but i play very fast time controls so I blunder sometimes, so I only score 70%
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

Are we going to see staples13 identify a winning improvement for White in the Godena-Perez game?

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

That's why he is 2500+ and you are not even close

And after 4...cxd4, then what?

I showed forced winning lines in post 55, which is a complete and thorough analysis of why 2. d5 loses immediately

Two options that give White a solid advantage
#1: 5. cxd4 and White has a strong center. White can strengthen his center without much difficulty.
#2. 5. Bc4! Nb6 6. Bb3! go for the gambit. In compensation, White will get a space advantage, a lead in development, and Black's positions is extremely cramped. White should have little trouble achieving a huge edge here.

Clearly black can not take on d4. ...

6. Nf3
Doesn't that result in the same position as the one after White's 6th move in this game?
Will we see HolographWars identify a winning improvement for White in the subsequent moves?
Does staples then insist that the Alapin is a forced win for white if black plays 2…Nf6?
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
