Hey, I’ve been looking at some anti-Sicilian openings for white. I’ve come up with a few options (listed in order below): Alapin, Delayed Wing Gambit, Smith-Morra. Any ideas on a few other openings I can play. (Just to let you know, I really don’t like playing the Open Sicilian as white). Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! :)
Against the Sicilian, I play 2 c4 transforming the game into Symmetrical English. The games usually go into the Botvinnik variation. One book that goes into this 2 c4 (albeit via transposition) idea is The Iron English By Williams and Palliser.
