Well done, you took 67 moves to beat someone 175 points lower rated than yourself. irrefutable proof that you have solved the Sicilian defence. LMAO
A wins a win
Can you post a game where you beat a higher rated player than you with the Alapin? I would like to see it.

Here you are
34...Ke4 lost that game. The opening did not win it.
And yes...I know this is falling on deaf ears.

Ok to be fair, my position was completely winning out of the opening was up like 3 pawns, then blundered an exchange and a pawn for no reason, and then won when my opponent again blundered

And if Black had played 4...Nc6 instead of 4...e5 ?
@staples13, show more of your standard rapid games, since they are a lot more credible than random blitz and bullet games.

Thank you!
I am playing a daily game with the Alapin against someone who challenged me. I’ll post it here once it’s done
February 10, 1996: the day the Sicilian died. Deep Blue crushes Kasparov with the Alapin, and the chess world mourns
If 2. c3 busted the Sicilian, everyone would play it and there would be no more masters playing the Sicilian.
Who cares what grandmasters play. The strongest chess player of all time is Deep Blue and it exclusively played the Alapin against the Sicilian. That should be all the proof you need
... 1. e4 c5 2. c3 Nf6 3. e5 Nd5 4. d4 cxd4 5. Nf3 dxc3 ... 1-0 No one is even surviving 10 moves against the Alapin.
What if Black had played 5...Nc6 ?

Not true!
Deep blue program was extremely ancient and inefficient software. Deep blue reach max search depth max 18 -22 only. And rated 2900. ( Marginally beat 2800 rated Kasparov).
Current Stockfish is extremely powerful and can reach depth beyond 30+ within a few seconds .
Current Stockfish on common smartphone is 3400+ and desktop is 3500+.
Stockfish on current PC will kill Deepblue by 95-5 in 100 games match.

GM Igor Miladinovic, former World Champion U-20, has "made a fortune" by meeting the Alapin with 4...e5.
Q draw does not mean bust. You could not draw against either of these two neither could IM xxxx
