So like this, or something like this

that's basically a slightly inferior version of the "big clamp" because the bishop on e2 is probably better off not existing. Here's the big clamp.

 

Actually, u show a closed sicilian (defined by Nc3-g3), while the Big Clamp is defined by d3-Be2...

The big clamp is quite respectable and as many openings, white shouldn't play automatically but has to adjust according black set up.

Sometimes going for Grand Prix Attack mode with Qe1-Qh4-f5-Bh6-Ng5, sometimes with erecting a strong centre with c3-d4...

Bishop opening turned around this spectacular match

Yeah sure you can go on ichess.net or chessnetwork, perhaps even Agadmator has some games on the Grand prix attack, I know he has some on the closed sicilian.

Among this there are many resources I suggest you use youtube for the videos...

Hopefully this was helpful, however I don't use to many resources for chess out of youtube so sorry for the small repitoire(even if I might say out of chess terms, lol)

@TeacherOfPain no problem at all, this is helpful info and will definitely check it out!

maybe the engines have been able to show something in the 4 bb5+ lines or at least discouraged black from having to work hard at memorizing all the complications there that  you don't have to do if you just play some other non-confrontational setup like 2..g6 or so.
