Hey, I'm a player that prefers to play open, aggressive games. Because of that, I chose the Sicilian against e4 as black. I love playing the open Sicilian, but when white chooses some form of the closed Sicilian I tend to end up with closed boring games. Is there any variation that I can use as black to avoid a typical stagnant closed Sicilian game? Obviously there's no one variation that works against all of whites moves.
From the moment White chooses to play a closed system, you have to follow the stream unless you wish to gambit a couple of pawns to open the game but Whites very solid to find compensation for it. My preference (because i like the semi-open positions too ) against the closed Sicilian is to advance first the Queenside and then challenge the centre with d5. If Whites play e5 then i follow with h5-Nh6 having a good game, otherwise if White allows the exchange i play in the centre and Queenside. Something along this lines.
