Rossolimo?

Should I play the Rossolimo (4. Bb5) against 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 (Sicilian)? Because I think the Open Sicilian gives Black too much chances.

Splendid opening. Top choice, I had many wins against decent opponents. Bxc6 and there will never be Siciliian c-Line fun and a minority attack. Highly recommended!

Sample of mine:

i havent really studied it since I either play the Grand Prix as white or Najdorf as black so ive probably never had a game with it but i think it's the second best reply to the Advanced Dragon(the first being the Maroczy Bind). If you play the Ruy Lopez as White, you'll feel at home playing the Rossolimo since the idea is similar, attacking the c6 knight making the control of e5 and d4 unstable. As with the Ruy Lopez, a classic e4-d3 center is also made. Tbh, White's play is easier and universal with what black replies. Also white is very flexible, he can castle both sides though castling short seems more common. A slow, maneuvering game. White develops first quickly then opens up with f4. Overall, it's a good choice against 2...Nc6.

And what @Sarg0n said, Black doesn't get to play his usual Sicilian :D

@Sarg0n @Nikkoi I just played a Rossolimo with an attack:

Good thing you guys suggested me this! I now can play it both positionally and/or with an attack.

Yeah, I too always play Bb5 against Nc6. Good opening

Caruana played it against Carlsen in their World Championship match and got nothing out of it with white.
He then switched to the open Sicilian, where Carlsen played the Sveshnikov and Caruana got nothing either.

You should try Gurgenidze Variation. Really interesting opening:

@M4T4S Nice game! I haven't seen that before, looks like a better version of the Wing Gambit.

Guys, the classics!
