This nameless line is highly effective against the Sicilian Defense

The problem with this line is that White has wasted tempi by moving the queen twice in the opening, so you have to energetically maximize your space advantage as much as possible.

The lines that concern me the most for White are those with ...e6, when Black decides to develop quickly. Even so, the variation remains very playable for White.

I'm winning 71% of my games with this line - it's a goldmine! I've spent years studying the Open Sicilian after 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 and also the Morra Gambit 1 e4 c5 2 d4 cxd4 3 c3 and the Snyder 1. e4 c5 2 b3!?

but no matter how much I've studied, those haven't given me as good results as this practical line.

Why? First, because it surprises the opponent. No Sicilian course teaches this variation, probably because it seems stupid

but they don't teach it, so White already plays with an advantage. Second, most games tend to follow a similar pattern since Black, being unfamiliar with the line, usually plays the same responses.

The lines that start with ...e6 after Nc6 tend to be the most concerning, so White needs to be well-prepared.

I want to respond to the variation suggested by a user who insulted me in a previous message and offered one of the most critical lines that almost no one plays.

(In every chess opening, there are critical lines, and that doesn’t mean we should stop playing the Scotch, the Ruy-Lopez, or the Italian. If Black plays correctly, the game will always tend toward absolute equality because chess is a draw if no one makes mistakes, folks.)

That being said, the line suggested by the user is rarely played, but it’s important to know it since there are grandmaster games featuring it. I'll show the game between Matsukevich and Marchisotti, which ended in a draw.

So, let's take a look at it :

The final position is very complex

both sides can play for a win, but I prefer White.

Black has a strangely placed king on f8 and a rook on h8 that isn't participating in the game.

It is one of the critical lines, but that doesn’t mean White should stop playing this variation.

DID BRO LEAVE??

NO WAY, BRO GOT SENT BACK TO LICHESS

I AM HERE IT SAYS BRO GOT INACTIVE LIKE 45 MINUTES AGO, AIN'T NO WAYYY

Well, The OP didn’t have a very open minded attitude.

Everything he said was made with a very forceful agenda.

It is very telling when a person tries to push lines on people and tries to build up the line using their chess rating as a form of authority or superiority.

What the OP didn’t know and understand is Chess.com has been Blessed with some very strong and talented chess players that often comment on the forum section threads daily.

A Strong Collective Group of Chess players can often break down and analyze any chess position which was apparently an issue for the OP.

I think the OP wanted people to just stand back and be mesmerized by him and his line.

When people started questioning his line, He got upset it seemed.

Pretty Sad situation really because I was willing to give his line a try.

At this point in my chess career, I don’t care if I lose a chess game due to playing bad.

I don’t care if the line is good, bad, or trash.

My points go up and down all the time.

I played it 1 time and I drew with it, but the line has problems.

The main issue is the Light Square Bishop in a lot of Open Sicilian lines belongs on the c4 square. Having the Queen on d3 really hurts the development.

I do think the OP decision to play Nd5 was a good idea.

A pawn structure change could fix some of the issues.

I remember their is a line in the Open Sicilian were white aims to get the E pawn to move to d5 in order to create a Queen side pawn majority.

Then they push the pawns on the Queenside.

The Light Square Bishop is often on e2 and Dark Bishop is on like e3 all escorting the pawn storm.

I think that could be decent idea.

Two things you will often notice about the enthusiastic Smith Morra players, regardless of their rating.... a) usually bullet players, b) they've usually never played the sicilian as black. From looking at the OPs games both appeared to be the case. I appreciate we had an NM step in to restore sanity, but the failure to address the rational arguments was another giveaway.

A roughly equal sicilian position which black has not seen before is what black gets almost every game in the sicilian - assuming he manages to equalize. It's a very conceptual opening... you don't always need to have seen the exact lines to play them well. Tbh they all start to feel the same after a while. The value of the anti-sicilians is mainly that they save white time and give him something simple to focus on, but that's simply a practical concession.

100% and I agree with everything.
