closed sicilian

hey guys, as a 1700 OTB Sicilian player, I have to say I dont see too much Closed Sicilian. I believe it to be a strong setup though..(esp. hard for a more tactical player) it should surface more once I get to a higher level so Im going to try to learn more about it.

I joined this tournament as it was perfect-

Im trying to get ideas for Smyslov games, one of the more underrated players IMO.

Sorry I wasn't able to join that tournament. To begin with your thread, I love the Closed Sicilians as much as I love myself. LOL. 

I particularly favor the Grand Prix Attack in the closed sicilian.

 

here is the closed sicilian "Main Line" as they say it is (I don't have any idea about it)
