Hello all,
I'm trying to learn a bit more about openings. In a game I am playing with white against a much better player. Things seem to develop in Kings Pawn Sicilian Classical:
1. e4 c5
2. Nf3 Nf3
3. d4 e6???
I don't understand e6 from black. Why does he leave my pawn on d4 unharmed? It seems black is making a mistake. How do I take advantage?
Both 4. Nc3 and 4. e5 seem to lead to favourable position for white.
I choose 4. e5
Was this the best move? or would 4. Nc4 have been better?
Would be great to hear someone's opinion on this!
Thanks!

However you are allowed to consult databases of old games, which can be discussed.
So I would suggest you search for a database with old games and look up how things developed. I can't imagine that this is something quite new.
If you want tollok up one game:
Schmidt, Berthold
Rajkovic, Radisa
Event: Pinneberg-ch op
Site: Pinneberg
Round: 2 Date: 09/03/1998
ECO: C02 Score: ½-½
In the database I used there have been 213 games. So it's not that uncommon.
