I play at lower levels, 1800s and you wouldn't believe me but I had NEVER in all my life of responding with sicilian had seen a3, followed by b4 from white. The other day i did, I did everything wrong and still won... but I was shocked to see that and I was immediately uncomfortable to respond from the get go. Thanks for your video.

@MoltonChess once again. Thank you I'm preparing for a tournament. On the wing gambit 3:17 on your video; on e4 countering against the knight. I saw what I think is a better line for white. Instead of capturing bishop via cxb4. Qa4+ Bd7, Qxb4 exf3, Ba3 Qe6+, Kd1 Ne7, Qxe7 Qxe7, Bxe7 Kxe7, gxf3 Rd8. No longer feels easy to play, as you are also not castled and there's counter play for white; via Rg1, d4. Wanted to give you this line.

Excellent video! Much appreciated. I was wondering what a Najforf player should do against 1.e4,c5 2.Nc3,Nc6 3.Nge2 with the idea of playing d4 and forcing a non-Najdorf open Sicilian. 3...e5 doesn’t seem to be working as well there. This is probably the main reason why I still play 2...d6 after Nc3, but it would be nice to switch to Nc6 to make the Grand Prix Attack easier to neutralize.
@MoltonChess3 жыл бұрын
As a Najdorf player it might be better for you to play 2...d6 or 2...a6 instead to transpose back in case they try to move order you. Unless you are happy to have your knight on c6. 2...d6 against the Grand Prix is also good

I'm afraid. Not of playing the Sicilian, but when white plays 2 Bf4 of playing an eventual .... d5 an opening up the center before I've developed any kingside pieces, still have my King in the center and my opponent has castled. It seems wrong, and if I recapture with the Queen they play Nc3 winning a tempi. I know I must be missing something, but I am unable to figure out what it is.
