Sicilian Defence Part 1 – A brief introduction to the main variations

Wiki notes about Sicilian Defence:

The Sicilian Defence is a chess opening that begins with the moves:
1. e4 c5

The Sicilian is the most popular and best-scoring response to White’s first move 1.e4. “Indeed, most statistical surveys suggest that 1.d4 is the most successful first move for White, but only because 1…c5 scores so highly against 1.e4.

One sixth (17%) of all games between grandmasters, and one quarter (25%) of the games in the Chess Informant database, begin with the Sicilian.[3] Almost one quarter of all games use the Sicilian Defence.[4]

  1. What would be the best move if white opens with the Sicilian, pawn to e4, black responds with pawn to e5, white counters with queen to f3, black responds with pawn to c5 – what would most probably be whites next move and what would be the best response for black in this scenario?

  2. Is it just me or does Dragon Najdorf Scheveningen Paulsen Pelikan Sveshnikov mean nothing

  3. Hey KC – you still big uppin' it on the chesses(dot)wrong?

  4. kc if u r from London I would like u to know I have tone to London chess classics

  5. yoda he got turned into goo

    thats too bad i really liked yoda

  6. at 4:30 ish – they would have just checkmated you with the bishop …

  7. "Sicilian defense for beginners" would be one variation with every position explained, not a thousand variations with three seconds given to each.

  8. What if
    1. e4, c5; 2. Nf3, Nc6; 3. d4, cxd4; 4. Nxd4, Nf6; 5. Nxc6, bxc6?

  9. For beginners? Didn’t understand a thing

  10. Question: At 9:56, why does black capture f6 with pawn rather than queen?

  11. Great video, King, thank you ! You recommended the games of grandmaster Chris ? last name? (couldn't hear clearly) Thank you !

  12. What do you do if knight takes (trade of knights) on E6?

  13. You didnt mentionned the levenfish Variation of the sicilian dragon the Fisher sozin attack of the sicilian najdorf (also called lipinsky attack) ore the alapin Variation the checkover variation the anti qxd4 move order defense ore the ptérodactyle hyperaccelerated Dragon the accelerated etc etc.
    There so much more theory behind

  14. what is the best move if queen takes pawn in d5 and not knight ? great video tho

  15. I came here because of Queen's Gambit😂

  16. Anyone wanna play chess dot com, look me up urmomgoestocollege00

  17. @545 white would do well to hammer the pawns with a knight, trade the two black pwns for a knight. then have to push all the pwns on that side and hopefully be rewarded with a queen or some other high priced pieces in trade. as well, as pushing these pawns and winning. white could also attack the king anytime in the process, therebye diverting forces repelling the march of the pwns on that side.

  18. i love chess! taught my kids how to play it early in their lives. i believe it relates to life as well. strategy is key and you cant take things back, though you wish you could, and it all affects the outcome of "the game."

  19. i’m new to chess so sorry if it’s obvious but what if when i play d6 he immediately plays his bishop and puts me into check

  20. What's interesting the British call us Sicilians WOGS

  21. The text makes not clear the tutorial
