The Alapin is obviously no bust to the sicilian defence. In the worst case scenario, black transposes to a good french.

I have noticed a contradiction in the OP, if the Sicilian is indeed losing by force, then it's not an opinion that the Sicilian is a bad opening, however, the OP claims both! CONTRADICTION I CALL!

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.

Proof?

Any concrete lines?

Or words?

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
