because, sicilian is strong :v
Do you think Sicilian is a good opening?

Think Sicilian is one of the best replies of e4. If you give it in an opening explorer (i.e. here in chess.com) you see, that the score of white and black is nearly the same. Compared with, let´s say with the Caro-Kann you see it clearly:
BUT, these are all only games from the masters of chess. To play the sicilian right, you have to study it for years. I tried one time to learn only the rossolimo attack, uff, dozens of sidelines, no chance to memorize this to play it right. I decided to go to other openings which have more "general Ideas" I can learn and follow and less fixed variations. So I always play against the sicilian the grand prix attack for example.


Ye I always do Kan Variation, which can just be plain chaos, so is Najdorf or Dragon, so you may want to try Hedgehog Variation or whatever it’s called

And why? (optional question)
