riduclous, pure crazy.

Nothing is proven by your games. We can all look at your losses with it. Im sure your hand picking you "best" wins and calling them normla games with the alapin. The Sicilian is not refuted.

Are you Magus? Because witht the way your talking, you are!

I think a lot is proven with a club player winning 3/4 of his games with this.

ma boy, the title to this pointless forum is already wrong, as you have already mentioned, you have lost 26% of your games with the Alapin, that proves that it is not a refutation to the Sicilian, m'boy

Well, i would play the Alapin any day if it gave me a 74% chance of a win!

U-ummm.... Should I tell him that draws exist a well?

I am attacking the practical soundness of the Sicilian. I have a somewhat different viewpoint than Staples13, who is arguing for the theoretical soundness, but I am still arguing for the Alapin like he is.

A 74% success rate, I should say. (*cough cough*)

People you're all crazy.

My winning rate WITH the SICILIAN is SO HIGH that I have better chances as black than white.

You count a draw as a "success" for White?

Against players 100+ rated higher than me, yes, as I frequently say play against them.

to be honest, I just dont think that 74% winning rate makes it a refutation to the Sicilinan

The Ruy Lopez Brentano Gambit has 100% white winning rate. Take THAT Alapin Variation!

I don´t agree, it is just a common variation.

Anything over 66% is good as that means I will gain rating the more I play it.

As I have said, a good opening for beginners and club players until 2200. Then, the database starts to open up.

it just, it just ISNT. It may rival it, but it is NOT a refutation. It may just be an obscure variation that wasnt discovered until recently.
