I play 2... d5 hoping for tal gambit!!!! And if not that most that I play go 3.e5. I like playing both and they are comfortable for me. Just use the explorer and look at the positioning of pieces that are possible just to get out of the opening

the move order is 1 e4 c5  2f4 and immediately d5 it fights for the centre followed by fianchettoing the black white bishop

*c3.

 

Why dont people called it Alapin? Make his creator proud.

Oops, I ment c3. I don't know. Some reason I didn't think of it as alapin since Alapin variation is e4 c5 c3 straight away and usually throw the 'normal sicilian'-like Nf3 inbetween

Doh, silly me, you are right, don't know where that come from, I am involved in a game against the grand Prix at the moment, where f4 is prominent
