Mar-28-04		iron maiden: This is why I sometimes play 2. d4 against a Sicilian; hoping to reach a position like the one after 5. Nxc3. Of course 6...Be7?? was tragic, but in any case White has enough pressure for the pawn.

Mar-29-04		BiLL RobeRTiE: Other possible opening improvements were 3...a6! and 4...Nc6. Taking the pawn was bad but of course the losing move was 6...Be7??, as was already pointed out.

Sep-15-06		Chess Carnival: Ughh! Terror for Maddox's Sicilian! For a moment I thought this would be the author of Chessbase's CD "King's Indian Attack", but in 1933 he was probably trying to figure out how he would get into existence..

Nov-28-11		SonOfSteel: ~ My first uscf-rated victory over an expert opened this way. My opponent varied with 7...d6 8. xf7+ d7 and as I could not find a forcing line continued 9. xg7 f6 10. 0-0 c7 11. g5 b8 12. xf6 xf6 13. f7... when, with some difficulty, I exploited the undeveloped a8 more than the extra pawn. 1-0 in 28. Quite exciting for a class-B player.
