Hi all,
There are some Closed Sicilian thematic tournaments still open. Interestingly, the starting position is:
My question is this: Would it be bad form to enter this tournament, and then transpose into an open Sicilian with a subsequent 3. Nf3 and 4. d4, depending on what moves black plays?
I think someone should be able to play whatever they want from the starting position, but I could see someone being upset, thinking they were going to get Closed Sicilians but instead finding themselves with an Open Sicilian by a different move order.
I'm asking here because there is more traffic in this forum. Thanks ahead of time for your input!
