3...Nxd4 4.Nxd4 cxd4 5.Qxd4 gives White the centre. He has a perfectly posted queen that cannot be harassed easily.

I vote for 3...cxd4

Ya, i'm going to go ahead and call that a positional blunder!

Which opening book did you find 3...Nxd4 in?

I don't see it in any of my books or opening trees.

Why wouldn't you want to play the standard sicilian? Nothing to be afraid of.

Edit: You play 3...Nxd4 in your games for this position? Perhaps you can post the game link on here. I'd like to see this.

I wouldn't play Nxd4 in real life.

Lets try something different!! Isn't that the point of these things?

Come on! Nxd4 It'll be fun! I promise!

Too late.

4. ...e6

Actually, it would be helpful when one could see the actual position/board.

I'm feeling helpful today, and seeing as you're a fellow gambit....

For what it's worth, I'd normally play Nf6 too, but I'm not very good at playing the sicilian.

vote: 4...Nf6

Nf6
Boring? Boring? how can this be boring?
Nc3, e5 is anything but boring. It's the most exciting sicillian around (except for the dragon which just plain loses =).
