Sicilian defence with 1.e6
Sort:
How to play the french sicilian if they dont go into open sicilian(kan)? Idk when should I play Nc6, or d5. I cant catch logic on it. Does anybody know where can I look theory on that?
What move did white make?
E6 Sicilians are generally playable against most anti-Sicilians.
d5 is generally an equalizing and liberating move in d6 Sicilians but not always in e6, so it depends on the position and whites plans.
Get accustomed to anti-Sicilians under 1800 rapid.

I mean anything except d4. The italian setup, gran prix attack, closed fianchetto, delayed alapin etc
Against the Italian/Bowdler and Alapin (delayed or not), play the immediate d5 to equalize the game and learn to play from there.
Against f4 (McDonnell Attack or Grand Prix), you have many options. To keep things simple, develop or get d5 in at the first opportunity.
The Closed Sicilian can transpose to the Open Sicilian but either way, keep things consistent and simple. Get your e6 and a6 set up; take it from there. Look to liberate the position with d5 on the first opportunity.
Down the road, you could learn a hedgehog/Katalimov/Wing Attack set-up, particularly against the c4 or a4 lines or Marozy Bind. Good thing about learning this set-up is you’ll be able to play it against the English as well since it’s a transposition. You would also be able to play this set up against whites Closed Sicilian, g3, or f4 lines based on the imbalance positions, available counter play and clear strategies.
DM me for more info and resources…..
You’ll also run into an advanced e5 position under the 1800 level. I like a Ng6 set-up this case to fight for the e5 square.
You must understand how important it is to fight for the e5 square when you play an e6 Sicilian. This isn’t an issue with d6 Sicilians because e5 is met with d6 and the there are no dark square weaknesses for black to patrol.
Or your opponent does a hybrid play, then combine your Sicilians ideas and chess fundamentals:

I’m assuming the move order 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3? Don’t play e6 there, go with d6, Nc6, g6 and then if they play Bc4 go with e6 Nge7, if they don’t go with Nf6 Nd7, and either way, after that go with Rb8 (a6 if necessary) b5 b4 a5 a4 and play for a queenside assault while defending your queenside.

Oh okay. Thanks for help!
I’m a Kan Wing Attack-Open Sicilian and Katalimov player so here is an alternative to the immediate d5 line.
A hedgehog set up is harder to play but it is playable against whites fianchetto or f4, or c4, a4 set-up and the English.
You will want to learn this system when you advance or as a side line if your a club player who runs into the same members frequently. You don’t want to become too predictable, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing either.
