Sicilian Defence How many variations are there in this defence? (As of now, I'm only aware of Sicilian Dragon and Marshall's Wing Gambit.)
Can you tell me their main line?
Thanks a lot! =)

On that page the "Sicilian" includes all of the Sicilian, Accelerated Dragon, Dragon Variations, and Levenfish Attack.

what do you think about...? ...the svechnikov/pelikan variation? do you think it is any good? or other variations are more reccomendable for black in a sicilian?

I play the..... Sveshnikov a lot. I like it!! That is what it
boils down to, if you like the variation. As
said above there are many variations. Chuck

I always try to prevent any sicilian player from dictating the opening by offering a gambit (you guess which one...). It's working rather well presently. Surprisingly well even.
Fondly,

speaking of sicilian.... does anyone know what this is called?
1)e4 c5 2)f4?
I've seen a couple games like this from the mid to late 1800's and was curious about it. I noticed a more recent game from 1952 that Botvinnik played against Petrosian and lost. thanks in advance

It's the Grand Prix Attack or the MacDonnell Attack......most people play 2.Nc3 and then 3.f4 to discourage the direct 2.d5 from black..........

the morra gambit is my favourite way to play against sicilian...giving up the pawns so early in exchange for a bit of space....

Sicilian defense The Sicilian defense is perhaps the most agressive opening in chess.It bodes well
for both black and white,as both Kasparov and Fischer will attest.It is so flexible
that anti-sicilian openings do not work too well.I often play black and it seems
that the popular move these days is 1.e4 c5 2.Bc4.... (Ive come across some
80% of the sicilians I have played against on three sites!)2...e6 seems to work
fine.Does anyone else here experience these closed lines,as opposed to 3.d4 and
the open lines?Is it a new

The best way of playing against the sicillian is apparently the yugoslav attack.
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 g6 6. Ba3 Bg7 7. f3...
Correction, it's the best way of playing against the sicillian dragon as seen here.

Richter-Rauzer You've left one off. Very reasonable defense for black. Hard for white to get anything.
I've played this many times - drawn some - won some. Never had a hard game.
White can avoid the Richter-Rauzer, but then doesn't get anything special.
It's not that it's better than the other Sicilians - it's just that it was left off the list.
