Scary Sicilian Variation

Just played a game, and I got played this funny anti sicilian

I know it's kind of sub-optimal, but I bet someone like Magnus or Rosen would play this lol

Made a study on it to try to find out stuff on it, but idk if it's advertising or not, so just tell me and I'll post it.

It's not sub-optimal, it's completely losing.

Of course you can post your studies here.
That's the point of Lichess Studies, to share knowledge.

If don't want to risk being shouted "Advertising! and Delete the post or you will be banned!" I will post the study for you.

Here it is:

Its the Bowdler Attack!

@SwApNeEl1 but that concrete sacrificing variation, It's kinda weird

@WildTiger Thanks

Funny indeed, but that's anti-chess, not anti-Sicilian.

Internet has made people put Rosen and Carlsen in the same sentence.

I know what you mean, but they are both people with a reputation for playing troll openings in blitz, which seems relevant.

That said, this is terrible stuff - it's not even "rubbish but tricky", it's just rubbish! When I played the Sicilian I used to play 2... e6 against the Bowdler Attack because it shuts down any tricks on f7 and leaves the bishop looking a bit silly, but if people were just planning to give me a free piece then I'd have been happy to let them.
