Tame the 2. c3 Sicilian! ...and some good opening study tips!

Hi all!

Since coming back from the Reykjavik Open, I recently got hired by ChessOpeningsExplained.com! It's a great gig - but it's also a really cool, interactive chess site. You get free book PGNs with a membership, and you can submit questions to GM Eugene Perelshteyn! The site's still pretty new, but I wouldn't be surprised if it caught on in the future :D

Anyways - you guys probably hate ads, so how about a video from GM Perelshteyn himself! He put together a nice video here on how to tame the 2. c3 Sicilian on his Youtube Channel, and you can watch it here:

I play c3 against the Sicilian, it throws off your opponent a bit.

Nah, it's fairly standard at club level. Most players just want a simple solution for white, avoiding the main lines. In fact, I'd say at club level, it probably IS the main line.
