Originally posted by kmac27Oh yeah, I forgot about Nbd7. Yeah, e6 is the only move here, then f4, the n Be7 or Qb6 (poisoned pawn).
when i play the sicicilian as black that does come to mind and you can pawn storm the queenside but i dont think its a very good idea. Nbd7 is also a bad move. first you are suppose to move e6. the sicicilian is a very sharp opening and Nbd7 cannot be decided until later in the game. also why not go Bd5 and attack his rook?he still has to waste one more move ...[text shortened]... you can develope faster. i'll play you a game and you can test out your sicicilian against me.

Originally posted by kmac27No, white to move. A few main options. Nb3 saves the pawn, Qd2 gives it up for what white believes to be compensation, and a3 also protects the pawn in a different manner than Nb3. Note Qd3 is possible here, but it puts the queen on a light square when it should be attacking the dark squares around the king.
so its blacks move right? can you show me what the lines are leading up to it and what happens if he takes the pawn? sorry if i'm asking too much i'm just curious.
Don't worry about the questions, although I'm not too well informed on this opening, because I've only just atarted using this variation.

tell me what you think of this opening:
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Bg5 Nd7 7.Bc4 b5 8.Ndxb5?
what do you think post comments
THis makes the black queen to move again
Here in my opinion "Not recomended"

Originally posted by zebanoThat's fantastic, but like I said it won't be likely for this two happen. 1.It's two pawns here, not 3. 2. Black isn't even following mainline open sicilian moves-so how often will white get the chance to even play the sac??
I've got a 1900 USCF player who will sac the knight for 3 pawns in blitz games against weaker opposition. He also plays the bishops opening in serious tournaments...
