Hi all
I need a system to play against the sicilian which is straight forward to understand and has a clear objective and of course dodges all the theory??

After 1...c5 there is no move to dodge theory. I know a lot theory on the sicilian; dragon, najdorf, paulsen, and sveshnikov so thats why as white I have recently taken to 2.Nc3 I believe this is called the Chamelion(sp?) and I don't reccomend it for your reasons but I believe you will learn a lot by playing it... mainly by getting whooped. 😉

closed Sicilian dude, there is no easy way for black to reach dull equality, its goes like this,
[Event "?"] [Site "?"] [Date "????.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "?"] [Black "?"] [Result "*"] [PlyCount "21"] 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. g3 {here we plan to fianchetto our bishop, solidifying the centre, the rational is that after we play d3, the bishop is best suited on g2, some may object, but its an easy way to play} g6 {black also fianchettoes his bishop where it will exert great influence on the centre.} 4. Bg2 Bg7 5. d3 {Normally in Sicilian we exchange this pawn for an open d file, but not here, black cannot look forward to an advantageous end game with a central pawn majority} e6 {there are many other moves in this position, ...d6, Rb8, but we produce this for illustration purposes} 6. Be3 {a brilliant move, black must now defend the c pawn, with moves like ...d6, ...Qa5, or in this instance ...Nd4} Nd4 7. Qd2 Ne7 8. Nce2 {and now the brilliant ...Nce2 challenging the bold steed} Nxe2 9. Nxe2 Bxb2 10. Rb1 Bg7 11. Bxc5 {and we have a central pawn majority, an open b file and we have exchanged a crumby b pawn for an excellent bishop pawn, our prospects are good!} *

I thought the closed was 2.c3 and the 2.Nc3 was the chamelion because it can transpose so easily.

Why did you play Black out of the book first? P.S. ChessMaster has 6. .... d6 as Black's only book move.
