Here is another example of how unstoppable the Alapin is. Notice how even extremely strong players like my opponent can not survive more than 12 moves against the Alapin

1555 extremely strong? LOL
It's true that black's Nxh5 was a bad move, however, White's attack would still be overwhelming in any case.

Both 2...Nf6 and 2...d5 are fine against the Alapin, and some players may also like 2...e6 or 2...g6.

Great post. Black can always play differently. In which case he merely loses differently
Here is another example of how stoppable the Alapin is.
staples13 pls show how white is winning in the position. Also look at Master Games. What is the win rate for white? 33%. If your so good then beat Carlsen, which in your words is trash, with the Alapin. Oh yeah and no draws allowed because you say its a disgrace.

This is my most recent 1 minute bullet game. Black resigned after just 9 moves after getti into a hopeless position with his Sicilian

Seriously people it’s not that hard to just stop playing the Sicilian.

As for me, I am not arguing that the Alapin gives black a hopeless game, but I do claim that it is an extremely powerful weapon for human v. human. Staples13 has a high win rate when he plays against another human.

Well, I was looking really deeply into this matter a few years ago. I was like you now, trying to make sense of it all. Let me tell you right now that you will end up nowhere. There are much more intelligent people that still haven't refuted it and probably never will. However, if you will keep doing it I would suggest you to start with a little "worse" opening like Caro-Kann 1...c6 if you think 1...c5 is bad. Against the 1.e4 c5 2.c3 (Alapin Sicilian) it's proven by a number of games that after 2...d5 Black is just fine. The thing you keep on missing all the time, the thing I didn't appreciate before is FLEXIBILITY.
