Someone analysed my game when I played the same opening as black in this game, and said it wasn't a very good opening, but this opening was played in a master's game, so I am confused as to whether it is a good opening or a bad one. Someone please explain. I posted the master's game where I saw this opening.
Is This A Bad Opening?

You need to remember this is a blitz game, many players try to avoid theory, there is one 2600 GM who plays e4 c5 c3 Qa5 in every blitz game.

Ok, thanks so much timonypumba, i understand now. I think I will sometimes use this opening when i play as black, but never use it for rematches because that defeats the purpose. Also, i can study it so that i can use it in bullet, and make my opponent think more there.
Good Point bb_gum.

Bobby I'm sorry, i posted this before you clarified in the other topic that you hadn't said it was a bad opening. Also, i did not post this to make fun of you. I just posted it because i want to know if i should stop this opening and just respond to e4 with e5 like i did before i saw this opening.

FWIW Kasparov was winning in that game until he blundered at the end. As I found out in a correspondence game, b3 is a rather subtle waiting move in the Sicilian. I do not think b6 is an Insta-solve for black.
