anybody know a crazy variation to counter sicilian
Sort:
I need it to win a club championship
preferably with the old sicilian 2.nc6
There is no counter to the sicilian, it's one of the best openings one can play.
After 2...Nc6 do you know which variation your opponent will go into?

1. e4 c5 2. d4 cxd4 3. c3 dxc3 4. Bc4 cxb2 5. Bxb2
Only for bullet and blitz. Maybe also rapid.

Everyone wants a magic solution. I'm afraid you'll just have to study chess books, videos and all the rest.
