What's this Sicilian line called?

@Gambit2Mate It is. I already illustrated the position can be reached in a different move order, with 4...Nf6 instead. Let me make my point more obvious...



If I asked you what opening this was and you said it's the French Defence... you would be right only on move 1, just like in the Taimanov example you are only right on move 4. This line is quite distinct and separate from the Taimanov, even if they can transpose into each other, just like how this can be transposed into from the French.

Chill 😂😂😂

@triangel though by his logic, if players don't move a piece twice, why even need an opening? Tpr once famously said 'why need a precision gun for sitting ducks'. Second if they play that bad why won't they just play random moves. Could do worse than following in kramniks footsteps, but they reasoning was kind of weird. Like this works, because your opponents know nothing. I said to myself don't comment, but while doing tactics his ' honestly' didnt get out of my head. I thought that was kind of odd, honestly, why would you say that? What reason could you have for questioning his integrity.

Lol @PoolOfLiver you’re getting worked up aren’t you lol.

Except it’s not move 1. And oh yea, it’s still the Taimanov :)

@Gambit2Mate I'm not. I gave you an example to show why you're using faulty logic. Oh well. I'm done with you.

@PoolOfLiver Okay thanks. :)

@PoolOfLiver lol wtf is wrong with you @Gambit2Mate is our kind of lichess master and I'm pretty sure he knows better than you :) why not spend your time learning from him instead of arguing? pointless rlly...

as far as I know it's the four knights sicilian and not the taimanov but when @Gambit2Mate says its the Taimanovhe is probably right or we both are idk

To add to your point with the french. Did you actually know that it is called the sicilian french variation? so no its not only move one. You can actually call it french sicilian.

@chessypiano He chose to take disagreement personally. I haven't directed a single impolite word at him. Also, I'm done not only with him, but talking about him. Please stop trying to drag me into an argument.

I think @CoachAaron probably got the best answer we're gonna get here as to the name of this variation. Heck, that might be it's official name.
