Closed Sicilian – Chess Opening

Th Closed Sicilian starts out with 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 and plays much differently than the standard 2. Nf3 move from white that most players are expecting. If you want to take your opponents out of all their prep in the Sicilian than just play the Closed Sicilian.

  1. Who the hell plays 2. Nc3 e5?? ?
    I've literally never seen anyone play e5 in their second move in this position. It seems so bad for Black

  2. I really hate this opening from the black perspective and I'm tired of seeing it. I'm going to explore some aggressive replies including any potential gambits. I feel that at my level most people playing the closed sicilian from the white side are playing out of fear. If I wanted a nice quiet game I would play checkers.

  3. Why is this called the "Closed" Silican? In what way is it closed?

  4. I accidentally played the closed sicilian as white since black played c5 and d6

  5. knight f "thrix", very relatable lol

  6. As a 500 i only play closed

  7. did you say knight f thrix?

  8. Thanks. Shalom. 🤝
