Looking for a special GM.

I am looking for any GM who over their entire master level chess career never played the Sicllian once as black.

I have to find one. As someone who can't play the Sicillian for toffee I need to find a GM who gives me hope for chess success Laughing

Even someone like Gata Kamsky did use the Sicillian as a surprise weapon a few times, albeit with disastrous outcomes.

I don't know that any GM has abstained from playing 1. e4 c5 entirely as Black.

Try Jose Capablanca, who only played the Black side ~5 times. 

Also, Mikhail Gurevich rarely played the Sicilian (probably only ~5 times also).

Looking for a special GM.

My hobbies include watching the sunset from a picturesque grassy knoll, fine wine with a scrumptious foie gras dinner, candlelight conversations on French film, and long walks on the beach.

This is my real picture.

Um. My intent was non-romantic, non-amorous and non-flirting. 

Perhaps you should give up chess and sign up to a modelling contract. That or turn up at the casting of the next Bachelor TV show.

If you think that's me then I know this real lucrative business deal... you'll be filthy rich.  Just send me your bank information and I'll wire you 23 million USD right away.

linuxblue1, the GM you are looking for is Wolfgang Uhlmann.  He was a lifetime devotee of the French Defence.
