Basic Sicilian hierarchy consists of all openings with pawns on e4 and c5 and all other pawns on their initial positions. The height of basic Sicilian hierarchy (above initial position) is 4.

Let's start with 3 plies.Cool

  • 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3  +0.11  open variation
  • 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 +0.11 closed variation
  • 1.e4 c5 2.Bc4  +0.07 Bowlder attack
  • 1.e4 c5 2.Be2  +0.04
  • 1.e4 c5 2.Ne2   0.00  Chameleon

Spaghettio was the first who ignored it, probably to give example.Laughing I started to look at positions with fixed pawn structure, where do U see "idiotic nonsense"?

Well, in this case, it's a bit long to do by hand. Not sure that I'll be able to finish the description of the whole set of these openings with same fixed pawns. But, for example, in the case of KIA hierarchy, it's doable.Cool

So u have an engine(i also have one sitting in my drive way) and can run off all kinds of gibberish.....the point is not the engine but can u play chess ?

Engine at move 3 is completely pointless. Otherwise nobody would play like half of the most common openings. :(
