And granted, a minute is a pretty decent amount of time.

The Alapin is fine for White. But it's mostly for White players who want to play against Black in a relatively equal game, with only a slight imbalance.
If Black knows what he's doing, then he equalizes against the Alapin pretty easily.
The Open, though, is a more aggressive try by White. It tends to maintain more pressure, creates more imbalances, and allows Black more opportunities to go wrong.

The time control was 3 min no increment as always. Mostly I just wanted to share the game because of the underpromotion at the end to a bishop
Dude just stop k? If there was a bust to the Sicilian you would be a master by now if you know it. If you really want to prove that it has a bust don’t do it here because if beginners see this, their play is going to be messed up.

Smith Morra refutes Sicilian and much easier to learn
That sentence just proved to me that you're a beginner. Smith Morra doesn't "refute" the sicilian. If the Sicilian defense was refuted, then why do many grandmasters play it, and why does no one at the GM level play the Smith Morra?
luv ur name tommy !

The Morra is just bad straight up.

The smith Morra is playable, but I agree that it’s bad because it gives black drawing chances

Winning chances.
2)c3 Nf6 3)e5 Nd5 4)d4 cxd 5)cxd d6 6)Bc4 e6 7)Nf3 Nc6... Where is white's so called advantage, it's much easier to play with black in this position as white has overcommitted the central pawns and after pawn trade on d6, the best white can hope for is a draw, if there is no trade, the e5 pawn is always a pain for white! Alapin busted!
Ran it through Stockfish and let it sit in analysis mode for a minute (exactly). After white played Nf3, it said 0.30 after a minute of analysis. For c3, it said 0.08 after a minute of analysis. Alapin is not the best response to Sicilian according to Stockfish.
