( 2.c4 against the Sicilian doesn't seem very good, but it seems that there is no way to avoid a transposition to an accelerated dragon with c4 which is boring compared to the usual dragon. Is there any way to avoid this?

( To those whom aren't that familiar with the Sicilian and want to practice with like-minded players to evolve one's own Sicilian skills. I started playing chess for what is now soon three weeks ago and need to really master some openings, and I thought this tournament would be a great idea for just that! If you don't know the Sicilian, join and learn it; if you have already mastered it, ...

In Italy/Sicily, my bf told me that they don't call themselves white, but Italian or Sicilian. He said that when they come her they are almost coerced into picking a color. His true identity is Sicilian, but he had to identify himself as a generic category such as white. Why?

( I have a few questions about the Sicilian that will most likely all receive highly opinionated. Nonetheless, I'd really like to know the "general consensus" about these: 1. What's the sharpest Sicilian to play as black? 2. What's the most quiet Sicilian to play as black? 3. What's the most effective Anti-Sicilian? When I say effective, I really mean: Which Anti-Sicilian causes black...

( I need to learn the Sicilian from both sides of the board. I feel that I play it poorly and play against it poorly. Please post your favorite Sicilan variations. You can show both sides by posting them on the forum chess board. Thanks! ,)

( i used to play the sicilian defense: old sicilian \(1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6\), but i've changed to the sicilian defense: modern variation \(1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6\) and i've had some decent success with it. does anyone else enjoy this opening? any favorite lines? ,)

Giuseppe Tomasi, 11th Prince of Lampedusa (1896-1957) was a Sicilian nobleman. (I hesitate in calling him a "writer", since apparently he didn't write very much, and never published during his lifetime.) "Il Gattopardo" (The Leopard) is his main work, written shortly before his death and published posthumously in 1958. The book is the story (probably autobiographic to some extent) of a ...

( I'll be playing players around 1600 below like me XP. Any help on choosing an opening continuation for e4 and d4 for white and the Sicilian for black? EDIT: Oh, and is there a difference between tourney and tournament? ,)

( Could someone give a definitive definition of theory as it applies to openings? I hear it used as people describe openings. Things like: "We're still in theory" "This move is part of a system. There's no theory" "Stay away from the Sicilian. There's loads of theory" I'm assuming it means a particular move is theoretically sound as opposed to being arbitrary or speculative, but ...
