This is a solid line in any time control I played a few times on classic time controls and actually never lost :) The last game I ended up winning on time on a roughly equal position agains't a strong opponent but he got short on time. on 15/20 mnutes games I lost agains't some strong players but due to my lack of skill and knowledge if the gambit its accepted its really good for white otherwise we just keep the center.
Can't black play 9. Nxc3 then capture the c-pawn with check, then take the knight on e5?
Definately interesting...
After Qxa2, white cxan play Bf3 and gain back a pawn followed by possible counterplay along the 7th rank it seems.
Haven't really analyzed in detail but I feel a bit skeptic and unsure about Qxa2.

Thank you for sharing this line, http://www.chess.com/members/view/mschosting! I agree it is interesting. I don't trust it for correspondence, but I can see why it would be appealing. Unfortunately, White would have to commit to Be2 (or c3) before Black plays d6, which is a major drawback of the system.
I tend to go Be2. And I like to 0-0 instead of 0-0-0 anyway :) I only go 0-0-0 agains't d6 systems then I always try f3 g4 h4. :)
Hi everyone, the line I will show you is a line I play frequently as white agains't the d6 sicilian. It is a 2/3 or even 4 pawns sacrifice for white but if it is accepted it leaves white with a big attack, and the best part is we get a ton of tactics we can use if our opponent blunders even in simple opening exchanges. This game was a 15 minutes game played online agains't an opponent rated 1800: (roughly the same as me in that server)
