Beat the Sicilian with 2.c3 Alapin variation

Posted on April 7th, 2010 by Richard

Hi

I always like winning against the Sicilian defence! It doesn’t happen very often but here is a recent game of mine where it did. However one day I really need to learn to play the full bore ‘Open’ Sicilian but that is a hard task (too many tricky variations to know!).
