Message:
1.e4 c5 2.Af3 e6 are the first two moves of any game.

If you mean with A the Q: well.....Gameknot database says the most common move after that Sicilian is Bc4, but my suggestion is to develop every piece quickly, so you can play not only Bc4, but even Nc3.
But the question is: why Qf3?

Women’s World Chess Championship Begins With Some Upsets — The first round of the Women’s World Chess Championship, which is being held in Hatay, Turkey, ended Monday, and a few of the higher-ranked chess players are already on their way home. The biggest upset was the victory of Betul Cemre Yildiz of Turkey over Pia Cramling of Sweden. Cramling was a semifinalist at the 2008 championship and is ranked No. 9 in the world among women. The manner in which she lost was also surprising as she simply used up all her time in the second game of her match before she could make her 40th move in a completely equal and uncomplicated position. Other upset victims included Lilit Mkrtchian of Armenia, who lost tie-breaker games Monday to ...

Play against this like you would any open Sicilian.
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4
Moves like 3. Bc4 can be ok, but why would you move that bishop there now? Black just closed off that diagonal, so the bishop is basically useless there.
Or, if you normally play closed Sicilians, play that here too. 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. Nc3 and so on.
I would suggest checking out any database of games between top players. This move isn't unheard of and there are many paths that can be taken after the first several moves.

Chess: Battleground London — World chess champion Anand faces his nearest rival Carlsen at the London Chess Classic. The second edition of the London Chess Classic takes place at Kensington Olympia from tomorrow until 15 December. This year will be even stronger than last with the participation of the world chess champion, Viswanathan Anand from India. Anand was a frequent and popular visitor to England in his early career, but hasn't played a chess tournament here since 1995 and interest will be high, not least because he will be facing the player tipped to succeed him, the Norwegian chess prodigy Magnus Carlsen. Their meetings take on added significance with Carlsen's controversial withdrawal from ...

Play online chess | 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6
Message:
These games end to be rather different from more common sicilain openings
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 or 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6. Best bet is to use the database and learn the opening lines that way if your not sure what to do, but 3. d4 is certainly the best third move.

For 2nd Year, Younger Women Beat Older Men at Czech Event — In chess, men almost always outperform women, and younger chess players often beat older ones. But which group — women or older players — has the advantage when they face each other? The annual Czech Coal Chess Match provides a clue. For now, the answer seems to be women. In last year’s tournament, the women, all of them young, and whom the organizers called the Snowdrops, edged the Old Hands team of men, 16.5 to 15.5. This year, the women won even more decisively, 18 to 14, despite losing the last round, 3 to 1. The women were led both years by Humpy Koneru of India, who is No. 2 on the list of top women chess players. She was the tournament’s top scorer this year, with ...

Vishy Anand and Magnus Carlsen lead the field for London Classic — Last year's London Classic at Olympia attracted large audiences, so its 2010 version on 8-15 December, with the reigning world chess champion Vishy Anand now in the field, will be of great interest. Its added spice is the rivalry at the top of the world chess rankings between Anand, Norway's 20-year-old Magnus Carlsen, and Russia's ex-champion and current world No4, Vlad Kramnik. The global chess body, Fide, still hopes to persuade Carlsen to rescind his withdrawal from the May 2011 candidates matches and has announced a new date of 22 December for contract signing. How he performs in London, just a week before the contract deadline, may affect the talks and whether he can take ...

Play online chess | One very interesting line
Message:
for WT to venture is after 3.d4 cd 4.Nd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Bb4!? 5.e5!? and then Black usually responds with 5...Ne4 or 5...Nd5 after which 6.Qg4 makes a very interesting tactical game.
Or WT can play more conventionally vs the Bb4 with something like 5.Bd3 . Personally I don't "Like" to allow pawn doubling by ....BxNc3+ which can follow that, but objectively it seems alright since WT will have the Bishop pair and activity, plus the absence of BL's Kings Bishop to compensate him for the doubling. Not something I'd swear to, having not played it in a serious game, but gotten good play in skittles or blitz. Often a bit drawish in mine. (Of course the 5.e5 line seems not drawish at all ! :)

The Man With Too Much Chess Talent — Dragoljub Velimirovic used to be one of the world's most feared attackers, always looking for the impossible. His imaginative play was compared to the colorful world chess champion Mikhail Tal's razzle-dazzle. His playing style was unique, daring and often falling off the edge. He made risky moves and so many of them that you wondered how much punishment his chess pieces could take. He loved to create confusion on the chessboard, always believing he could find a beautiful escape from a bad situation. He had enough talent to pull it off, perhaps "too much talent" as Bobby Fischer once put it when we discussed the play of the Serbian grandmaster and champion. At 68, Velimirovic doesn't seem to ...

Play online chess | my ideas?
Message:
After 3. cxd4 4. Nxd4 two regular fourth moves for black are 4. a6 or 4. Nf6. So what should you do after each of these???
4. a6. This variation immediately controls the b5 square (preventing Nb5 for white, a good move in some variations) and prepare a future advance of b5, which allows black to develop their white squared bishop at b7 and/or put pressure on whites kingside with b4. So although 4. a6 looks passive, it’s pretty good in the long run. White’s best responses are 5. Nc3 or 5. Bd3. After 5. Nc3 black would like to play Nf6 but it’s not very good because 6. e5 Nd5 7. Nxd5 damages blacks pawn structure. So black will play a move that prevents 6. e5, the best of which is Qc7 (on c7 the queen can help blacks plan to put pressure on the queenside) and then they can play 6. Nf6. If black does this white’s best sixth move is Bd3, which guards the e pawn against pressure posed by blacks potential b5 and Bb7.
If white chooses to play 5. Bd3 instead of 5. Nc3, this immediately protects the e pawn against the threats discussed above, and with no knight to threaten on c3 the value of a black pawn push of b5 and b4 is reduced. So 5. Bd3 may be slightly better than 5. Nc3.
4. Nf6. Clearly 5. Nc3 is best here to protect the e pawn. Black may then play 5.Nc6, then 6. Ndb5 takes the game out of 2. e6 waters and into 2. Nc6 waters. Since you’ve little experience against 2. e6, this transformation into a different sort of Sicilian game will probably be useful for you.
Black may also play 5. d6, when 6. Be3 is a solid developing move, or 6. e4 immediately aims to attack blacks kingside, where he’ll likely castle later. It’s good to play both these moves at some point, and either one is sound to play first on move 6.
I’d love to write more, but this article’s already too long, so I have to stop…
