I have a certain sympathy for OP, because despite the garbage often heard in vote chess games there is no reason for 2...e6 to be inferior to 2...d6. Wouldn't follow up with that early a d5 though. Personally like version of Taimanov explained in Delchev's excellent book "The Safest Sicilian". In games play in Tournaments in Uk find opponents completely unaware of this book, probably because of name. In contrast a book called "An Explosive Chess Opening Repertoire for Black" sold like hot cakes a few years ago. Even though based on rather dull lines in Pirc, and after 1d4 d6 2.Nf3 Bg4. Good job Chess stars
.
so, i guess d5 isn't that good. maybe i'll harass people with Nf6 Bb4, and things like that.:)
