What you get inside:

♚ Attack White’s e-pawn immediately and take the sting out of the Rossolimo with 3…Nf6 – not giving White time to build up a strong pawn center with c3 and d4

♚ Cede no ground in the Alapin – with 2…e6 and …d5, making a claim of your own in the center

♚Consolidate your extra pawn in the Smith-Morra and Wing Gambits – any inaccuracy by White will lead to an almost immediate advantage for Black

♚ Get a flexible setup against the Grand Prix Attack – foil White’s plans by not committing your d- or e-pawns too early

♚ Maintain several options to prove the Closed Sicilian is a timid option for White – take decisive control of the crucial d4 square leaving White with virtually no chance of a kingside attack

♚ Learn sturdy repertoires against all major sidelines – including 2.g3, 2.b3, and an early Bc4
