( After many years of playing the Scandinavian, I think I'm grown up enough to start exploring the Sicilian. Could anybody recommend a line/system that might be a fun place to start? Thanks in advance! ,)

I'm looking for the best traditional sicilian cassata (multi layered cake with marzipan covered in white icing and candied fruit). Are there any places that sell it by the slice so you can try it before buying a whole cake? Thanks!

Which pizzerias have Sicilian style slices but with the sauce on top? I saw a special on Man vs. Food for L&B Spumoni and I simply have to have a sicilian slice soon or I'm going to die.

( Here's a game I played a few hours ago at my chess club. It's a short game in which my opponent made a big error in the opening. He left the dark squares around his king wide open. ,)

From Italian news organization ADNKronos. A recently released book pondering/dreaming on the possibility of Northern Italy seceding from the "thieving" south is selling well in NE Italy. The article also mentions how a Sicilian soccer team's fans killed 6 fans from the Northern city of Veneto's Chievo team leading to strong nationalist sentiment in the north. Italy: New book...

( Hi! Paying with black I almost exclusively employing the Sicilian. Of course this allows for white to determine the opening in it's own favour and the Morra Gambit can be confusing if white is well prepared, so we must be well prepared too.

( What is the possibility that White is in zugzwang on the first move? Impossible you say? What about the Poisoned Pawn Sicilian? 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Bg5 e6 7.f4 Qb6 8.Qd2 Qxb2? According to Garry Kasparov, this position favors Black. When did White last have equality? Clearly, 8.Nb3 is possible, but then Black can play 8...Qc7 which might prompt White to play 9...

( taiminov is my back up if white wont go into the french. i.e 1.e4 e6 then if 2.nf3 instead of d4 i play 2...c5.....its a good solid scillian more positional than some of the other lines. personally i avoid the dragon/accelerated dragon lines as they were my first defenses against 1.e4. after years of getting crushed i moved to the slower less bloody french def. i think the maroczy bind...

Best Sicilian is from Nino's....I think it is on 59th Ave and Glendale. If you want a moderately good one that is generally available anywhere in the valley, Rosatti's does it.

Try Villabate in Brooklyn. They have all sizes of cassata, and they make a cassata flavored gelato also. Inquire about their small cassata or "cassatina", so you can decide whether to move on up to the big boy size. Look --> http://www.villabate.net/home
