hmm yes
the games where black plays the sicilian...
tbh no one plays the sicilian lol
this was meant to be more of a long term question
but yeah i was kinda thinking like that: go into the mainline but then not the main main line
what about... every other sicilian tho (not forcing a reply here, i can go into it myself if i want)
and more about the board you posted... then what would white want? some sort of kingside attack with f4 or g5 or h4 or some combination of those?
i am getting into more attack and opposite castling type stuff so i am completely fine with that suggestion, thank you
If you really want kingside attacks just do the freaking Grand Prix attack.
White is going to lock their kingside bishop outside of the pawn chain and potentially trade it for the c6 knight. Then, castle, Nf3, and when your opponent castles short, play Qe1 to use the opened diagonal, and go for an early f5. The f5 and Qe1 attacks work against only Accelerated Dragon Sicillians though.
No, it didn't follow the principles of the Grand Prix attack.
This is what it'd sort of resemble in a Grand Prix attack game. What is g3, you're supposed to lock your light-sqaured bishop out of the pawn chain.
You're supposed to play g3 if your opponent plays a6. Why? Because you have to take into account what your opponent wants to play. If they play a6, you're obviously not playing Bb5 because that hangs a bishop and you immediately lose and wonder why you still play chess after that embarrassingly stupid blunder. You can't play Bc4 because that runs into b5, gaining a tempo on your bishop and gaining space on the queenside. Your bishop has no really good square to run except its starting square which makes you feel stupid for moving your bishop in the first place.
Against a6 Sicillians you have to play a4.
Prevent b5 and go Bc4.
oh yeah i forgor about that
wait @SamuelAjedrez95 what was the line you showed me where black just got a winning position again, it was somewhere in the other sicilian thread
He hasn't been here since an hour ago.

where the heck do you find these goofy videos that i obsessed over when i was 400 elo and would just watch them and baka mitai memes onstop?
@TheSampson
Which line?
Also a4-Bc4 is a terrible plan. Nge7-d5 is a good response.
And black gets the Pyramid of Giza.
Now that I think about it the e7 knight is blocking the bishop so it probably isn't so good, unless white plays Bc4.
If white plays Bc4 then they lose to the Pyramid of Giza.
If white plays d4 instead then they are ok, but then a4 was just a wasted tempo.

Pyramid of Giza just comepletely loses a pawn to axb5.

yes but if you were to put your average e4 player below 2000 into fear factor and you try to make them play d4 they wont succeed

Ohio youtooz has an unlimited supply. But honestly just go to his channel.
Also you can try this line against the Anti-Grunfeld
Later into the opening, black can gambit the h5 pawn.
Also, I just realized in the Legendary Pawn vs Legendary Rook video contains pawn saying "...'till my last breath." ...You know what this calls for.

Against the Hedgehog variation try this btw.
personally i would avoid Be3 in the grand prix solely because of this position where black clamps down on everything
