A big problem in my black repertoire is the Bb5(rossolimo) system,I play 2..
Nc6. My score in long games have been miserable. I used to play g6 followed by Bg7 and e5 but that hasnt worked out too well. So now I ask which setup you guys use to play vs the rossolimo.
I have Kontronias book beating the anti sicilians where he recommend 3...d6 but which other systems are there? I know 3...e6 is a good system too
Looking forward for answers
Try this
3...Nf6 is a nice reply, and after the main answer 4.Nc3 I prefer 4...Qc7 to 4...g6.
Here is a recent game I played, and enjoyed very much:
The piece sacrifice at move nine is not my idea.
It's rather incredible that white is worse after 9.e5, and probably losing by force after 10.exf6...

the d6 universal system is the one Im trying to learn and the e5-stuff is what I used to play. Your suggestions seems fine too

Actually I like the ...bxc6 lines better than the ...dxc6 ones. But 6...e5 is not a good idea. Preferrable is Gelfand's pet line 6...Nh6, which was recently adopted by messieurs Giri and Nakamura.
I like to play 3...e6 and if Bxc6 bxc6 with a nice flexible centre. If white doesnt take I play Nge7 and chase the bishop away
