something like this? because it just gives white tempi for development and ultimately...you will probably lose
Sicilian Business
Sort:
How about regaining the pawn with Nf6 first?
err...what do you mean? can you do a diagram for me because its easier to understand
You can play 2...d5 in the Sicilian, but it won't be much of a Sicilian any more. Looks more like a Scandinavian where you can't put your Q on a5.

Ok, this is what I mean
Would you like to play a game trying your line out?

It's failing, White still plays d4, and I just take his pawn, but he has good piece play
interesting line...seems like some sort of sicilian gambit after:
of course, this is just me putting ideas out. would love someone to improve this because it looks very interesting!

Umm... after c4 with natural development white is a pawn up for no compensation on the black side, at least as I read the game.
What about like an Icelandic gambit sort of thing?
d5 is actually a move played in the sicilian in response to the grand prix attack. It is considered the reason why it is so uncommon. It is called the Tal Gambit.
Yeah, that's where I got the main idea from, I was trying to combine the ideas but there are the main reasons why you would play d5 in that situation, so i understand now

What happens if White doesn't capture the pawn, he just slides it forward to e5? do you just play like a Caro-Kann game?

Sorta but the position is quite different in a few ways, black probably has something like equal chances but you would need a strong masters verdict, not mine (yet
).
[COMMENT DELETED]
d5 is not the reason that Grand Prix is uncommon since most GP players do 2. Nc3 and then 3.f4.
Can someone please help explain to me why Black's second move in the sicilian should not be d5? c5 camps out d4, and white's e pawn is exchanged
