A Bust to the Sicilian Defense

You are saying like the alapin variation refutes sicilian defense but no alapin sicilain blocks the knight and all we need is to immediately respond to this fact

Any particularly good reason you are demostrating a blunder which drops the e4 pawn for nothing?

You're winning games because people find the alapin so boring they don't even want to bother studying it. The alapin is simply not a crack to the sicilian.

I have to share this most recent game. A valiant effort by my opponent but ultimately the Alapin can not be stopped only slowed. A cool checkmate at the end but the game was decided after 1. c5??. As always this is a 3 minute no increment blitz game

Seems like you were nearly losing at move 21 and then they blundered. How does this prove that the Alapin is great?

I don’t mind the Alapin and actually ran into it quite a bit at a club I use play at.

As black, you have many set-up to choose from and even transpositions to French positions as well.

Its pretty much an equal middle game for both sides.

Really? You mean it's not equal for one side only? tongue.png
