No one has played e5, Nc3 also has not been played, but it is the standard reply to Nf6. After Nc3 we have 2 major choices: 1. Play a dragon, 2. Play a svishnekov.

A) I was kidding
B) I was refering to the choice to stay with the book and not Nxd4.

Believe it or not, but I don't know what a svishnekov is. I have no specific books about the sicilian, although I play it regularly with black (and white). As black I never play Nc6.

Thanks,

I could have had a look myself, was just too lazy.

I always thought that this is an rather odd line. I am confronted with this from time to time (as white). I do not move the knight to b5; instead I move it back to f3.

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

Play it in your own games vs worthy opponents and see how you score with it.
