Here's my game with Stockfish. It wasn't able to equalize against my Alapin and its position is probably lost.

You can't "guess" stockfish's moves. This is ridiculous.
The fact that one 2775+ Player (MVL), plays the Sicilian all the time and that Carlsen recently played it a lot, while gaining incredible results might indicate that the Sicilian is not dead yet. Also, only few 2750s try the Alapin for white against it. All of these people who dedicate their life to chess have not found anything that refutes the opening and it might be for
a reason.

Thanks I do know my basic maths. However, ....d5 and ....Nf6 are played almost the same and so they both are main lines. You can't say ....d5 is the main line. Also white has worst results against the ....Nf6 variation. And by the way, it's not clear which is played the most. The chessbase database (which seems to be the one on which the best players prepare and which does look better then 365 chess) says that ...Nf6 is the most played. Anyway, it doesn't matter much. Most top GMs (except Ding) played Nf6 in this link here : Chessbase online
Play the moves e4 c5 c3 and tap on search board and look at what the high ratings (+2700) did.
Whatever. Also try providing a refutation to Nf6
The Alapin is not a bad variation, but it comes nowhere close to refuting the sicilian.

Brilliant game. Thanks for contributing
How does White reply to 6...c4 ?

(I think the intention is to refer to 1 e4 c5 2 c3 e6, rather than 1 e4 c5 2 c3 Nf6 3 e5 e6.)

Oh what does Garry know about chess?
Exactly. Kasparov is the greatest Hess player who ever lived, and he had to abandon the Sicilian against Deep Blue because of the Alapin
staples13 wrote:
... Kasparov ... had to abandon the Sicilian against Deep Blue because of the Alapin
Perhaps because he didn’t think it was his best chance for a victory at that time?

Yes! And he was right too

Of course, there is a difference between forced-loss and
not-the-best-chance-for-a-victory-at-that-time.

1) e5 is obvious and deserves no exclam.
2)
In this crazy theoretical position from the PP Najdorf, try, without your CPU, to find black's best move and follow-up.
This is why computers have an obvious advantage against human in these crazy positions, as they calculate flawlessly. Hence, Kasparov did not abandon the Sicilian because of the Alapin, but because it led to positions where the computer has the obvious advantage of much better calculation. Even playing it in the First game was heavily criticised. Stop lying, please.
