And @Molurus ya say ya play the Englund gambit, and you score 44% with it. Quote: I score with Englund 44% with Englund Gambit. That does'nt mean it's a good Opening. That does'nt mean it's a good Opening, that means NOTHING. But yeah, ya main point is right.
Is delayed alapin a good preference against sicilian?
e4,c5,Nf3,d6,c3,Nf6,Be2

e4,c5,Nf3,d6,c3,Nf6,Be2
idea d4??
It is. But not d4, ya should play d3.

I know, the point is that it means that the gambit works at that level, which he said it doesn't.

He did not said that. He said ,,1900 fide''. Not 1900+ Glicko-rating (lichess rating)
I am talking about OTB chess bro -_-

Just play 1. e4 c5 2. d4 cxd4 3. c3 dxc3 4. Nxc3 Nc6 5. Nf3 e6 6. Bc4 Bb4 7. O-O Nge7 8. Qc2 O-O 9. Rd1 a6 10. Be2 b5 against him, he hasn't won a game in that line.

In normal competition you make progress by outperforming similar rated opponents. Given a large enough rating gap any higher rated player can beat any lower rated player with any opening. That's not the point.
The point is that Morra as a main repertoire opening becomes highly unpractical after a certain point, and is likely to block your progress. At that point you may regret having invested in that opening.

There are several ways to play against Morra, but I particularly like this line:
1. e4 c5 2. d4 cxd4 3. c3 dxc3 4. Nxc3 Nc6 5. Nf3 d6 6. Bc4 a6 7. O-O Nf6 8. Bf4 e6 9. Qe2 Nh5 10. Be3 Be7 11. Rfd1 Bd7 12. Nd4 Nf6
The early a6 completely neutralizes the sting of Morra. 8. e5 simply no longer works, black remains a pawn up and is no longer in any real danger. Of course there are some sidelines you should be aware of, but this is the basic idea.
