Dude, there is no bust to the Sicilian! Magnus Carlsen plays the Sicilian a lot!

Classic fallacy.

His opponents not only refuse to play anti Sicilians, but are also much weaker.

no one plays the Alapin because it's not good enough. You should see Tarrasch's comment on it.

Tarrasch was a master of the old school, one that has been superseded today.

Of course I know that but that means you say Paul Morphy wasn't a master, which is not true.

He was, it’s just in another time zone.

Whatever. What do you say about my amazing game?

Where is Staples? At this point I’m tired or arguing for a dead OP.

People were commenting on the game. I just thought that I would show it and where it came from.

The Sicilian is dead. Not even Magnus is playing this garbage anymore, and he is well known for playing nonsensical openings

The Sicilian was a great and effective opening back in the day, I will not deny that, but the chess world has progressed since then and it’s time to accept the facts

The August 2019 issue of Chess lists the top twenty openings compiled from a list of 2507 June games where both players were rated over 2400 Elo. One can not take position on this list too seriously because it is greatly influenced by how the openings are grouped. For example, all the Retis are grouped together, while English is separated into 1...c5, 1...e5, etc. Nevertheless, for what it is worth, some of the list entries are: 164 Retis, 128 Caro-Kanns, 106 King's Indians, 100 Slavs, 96 declined Queen's Gambits, 83 Najdorf Sicilians, 83 Nimzo-Indians, 72 1...e5 Englishes, 66 1...Nf6 Englishes, 59 Queen's Indians, 51 Catalans, 46 1...e6 Englishes, 46 1...c5 Englishes, 44 Berlin Ruy Lopezes, 44 Classical Gruenfelds, and 39 Kan Sicilians.

No one is claiming Magnus is a bad player. He’s just a player who likes to play questionable openings

Try out both sides of the Alapin, the white side of which championed by the OP, in this tournament...Hope to see you there!

Let's see those who claim the Sicilian is dead, or that it loses by force, prove it!
