the accelerated dragon he showed was possible I don't know why he though you could play the Sicilian against d4 I know the four knight I feel stupid to forget that I know the nimzowitch played it before Ive also played the classical I got the wayward queen Sicilian against people Ive seen all those being played and how is the tradiotional Sicilian not a real Sicilian lines I also got the O Kelly which could count right I know a lot just very forgetful cuz I have giant ADHD.
D4 is better than E4 and C4 and its also whatever works best for you

In just the Najdorf alone there are 10 viable responses from white, each of them have a very large amount of theory that goes along with them. You cannot learn the theory in a sicilian from one game, that is just nonsense.

You can reach an accelerated dragon from a Modern or a Benoni depending on how white plays it, but not reliably.

I said open sicilians. I named the 13 open sicilians that are viable for black. The open sicilian is simply any sicilian which arises after 2. Nf3 > 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4

I don't think you should study more, and I don't think you should play the Najdorf. I think you should stop debating people about the sicilian until you do. Since to debate someone implies you know something, and in your case you are just barely getting started.

Well if your opponents are never entering book there's nothing about 1. e4 that would stop you from getting an advantage, assuming you're able to capitalize on their mistakes. Which kind of dispenses with your argument against 1. e4.
I don't play 1. e4 though, I simply think it's too common. Not due to some objective problem with the positions that arise though. I did enjoy 1. e4 when I played it. The opponents just felt stronger / more reliable.

they don't play book the play good moves but then they play a move that makes and seems stupid but for some reason I don't know how to counter the innaccuracy. also why are you arguing with me if you agree with the topic where now talking about the Sicilian defense completely forgetting the topic its only the Sicilian that not the one opening in this topic.

The better question you should ask yourself is why are you arguing when you have no idea what you're talking about? I'm arguing with you because you're making incorrect statements. Clueless people debating and correcting others is never tolerated.
The sicilian is the most challenging response to 1. e4. The caro-kann is not challenging, and the french can be reached from most openings... it's a pain but you wouldn't avoid 1. e4 on account of it.
The e4/e5 lines can be challenging, but in e4/e5 white has some interesting options like the Vienna, and white has most of the choice in where the game goes. That's not the case with the sicilian. So when we talk about whites difficulties with 1. e4 the sicilian is the main line worth discussing.
Scandi is nothing, Alekhines and Nimzowitsch just transpose w/ the Vienna, Pirc / Modern are always playable for black...
Whether white likes 1. e4 comes down to the sicilian, and the familiarity issue. Sicilian is quite a pain but surmountable. Familiarity issue... that's a metagame issue. You're not making metagame arguments.

Fine I guess you win but you agree with the topic so why argue with me when the argument isn't even the topic?

is this a joke? all three are equally playable
Does it look like a joke?
The point is you're debating people about the sicilian, and whether the Open vs. Anti-Sicilian lines are viable for white, when you don't even know what the Open sicilians are. This indicates a lack of self awareness and yes, it is mostly due to a lack of brain development. Which is okay, since we all lacked brain development at some point - but when you begin debating with the adults as if you know more then them... it becomes not ok, and I correct you, and put you in your place since you are an 11 year old.
fiancetto against d4 is not the dragon sicilian.
