The Real Refutation of the Sicilian

In answer to a thread called:

System against the sicilian needed...

Why?

You can only sympathise witll the Sicilian player.
He plays 1...c5 and has no idea what is coming.

2 Nc3 closed
2.f4 Grand Prix
2.b4 Wing Gambit
2. g3 that crap
2.Bc4! The Hooray I'm not going to g2 variation.
2.d4 the Morra
2.c4 The Moroczy Bind
2.d3 Reversed English.
2.a4 The Scud (play it like a reversed Enlgish)
2.c3 The c3 Sicilian
2. Bd3 The Kopec System
2.Qh5 The Nak Attack
2.Ne2 Keres - idea to play 3 d4 and 4. Nxd4 but it always gains time on the clock.

And that is only on move two without even mentioning 2.Nf3.

And the bust is.....

2.Bb5 The Spiderman

That's no refutation of the Sicilian, I'd rather call it the "Sicilian Suicidal Line" - for White buddy, for White.

Instead of 8...Bb7 8...Nc6 loses for White - inevitably. You wanna bet?

You just can't spin reality according to your imagination. Nice try, however not good enough:-(

There is also 2) Qf3 The Nerd Attack which has an impressive 11% sucess rate for White compared to only 6% wins for white playing 2) Bb5 The Spiderman. Wins for White playing 2) Bb5 seem to be mainly in U10 tournaments.

Well reminded Lundy. 2 Qf3 The Nerd. Forgot about that one.
Another move two for the Sicilian player to worry about.

Hi Grenz.

Read the final note in the game. It was not my imagination but from
an actual game.

Oh Yes! here are still pioneer spirits out there instead of cave painters.

Martyrs to the game of chess who seek new things and new paths instead
of listening to crusty dustyy old men painting on cave walls.

"Now this is a Mammoth, stay away from it."

Until one day a pioneer killed a Mammoth and fed the tribe for a month.
Later that night he pee'd on the cave painters wall.

The cave painters are now extinct.
The pioneers circumnavigate the world and walked on the Moon.

(Try it in blitz, the mug will think 2.Bb5 is a mouse slip.)

You've got to add that line to the Open Encyclopedia of Chess Openings for sure!

2.a3 is not a bad second move ive played this a handful of times....after-2...Nc6/e6/d6/g6 3.b4 or Bc4! Depending on what move you meet it does help to have some understanding of the wing and GPA(GrandPrixAttack)Which leaves 2...e5 3.f4!...2...d5 3.exd5 Qxd5 4.Nc3...2...Nf6 3.e5 Nd5 4.d4....There is a book out on this line written by GM Alexei Bezgodov but ive yet to see it and no idea where you would get it from.

There is also GM Vadim Zvyagintsev's 2. Na3.

HI PR & Albo

Good grief there are loads of 2nd move shots v the Sicilian.
You can only feel sorry the chump who has spent £14.95 on a Najdorf book
to memorises the moves he is never going to see again.

Of course 2.a3 (A mate of mine Nigel Chapman will go mad if he knows I forgotten this move).
He plays it with the idea of b2-b4 a kind of delayed 'Wing Gambit' I called
it the Mini-Scud. He has a tremdous score with it in league chess.

You can get a copy of the 2.a3 book from GM Alexei Bezgodov himself.
He runs the fish and chip shop just off the Old Kent Road next to the
brothel owned by Frankie Lee and Judas Priest....I think.

2.Na3 building up tension by blocking the Scud pawn. I like it!

...Really? I thought their brothel was somewhere in lambeth!

Lambeth......possibly.

"At that big house as bright as any sun
With four and twenty windows
And a woman's face in ev'ry one."

I like this verse.

"So when you see your neighbor carryin' somethin'
Help him with his load
And don't go mistaking Paradise
For that home across the road. "

'carryin' somethin' is the weight of worries a player have v any opening.

'Paradise' is that crud Bg2 line v the Sicilian 😉

"Well, the moral of the story
The moral of the song
Is simply that one should never be
Where ones does not belong"

and that Bishop does not belong on g2. 🙂

1.e4 c5 2.Bb5 ? ( Is ridiculous!!) a6 3.Bc4 e6 ( Now just stop for a second, and take a look at the position. White has made (2) moves , e4 & Bc4, Black has made 3 moves!, c5,a6,e6 all useful moves!. Also the Bishop ii in a poor position!, Its now a target for a shots like, d5 and b5.

😛
