Why do u allow 2...Nf6 3.e5?
U have some tempi down (Ng8-f6-g8...) in development, and u want to play a6?
Would u like to play this as black?
Closed sicilian 1 e4 c5 2 Nc3 Nf6 3 e5 Ng8 4 Nf3
Sort:
To take e pawn as a good target for a while ... I think it's a good compensation. no ?
And aslo 5 d4 is not to bad for black.
... 5.d4 cxd4 6.nxd4 d5 7.exd6 qxd6 8.Be3 Nf6 9 Bd3 e6
Hi,
I'm working on the idea 4 ... a6 to avoid a possible Bb5 coming soon.
I do not like sequences after 4 ... Nc6 5 Bb5 Nd4
...
What do you think about 4 ... a6
?
Kind regards,
Denis.
