Silence the Sicilian - Win with the Alapin Variation (2.c3) - DOWNLOAD
Demchenko Svitlana

Facing the Sicilian doesn’t have to be complicated. The Alapin Variation (1.e4 c5 2.c3) offers a simple yet highly effective solution to all major Sicilian lines, by sidestepping them with 2.c3. Whether your opponent plays the Najdorf, Taimanov, or Dragon, the Alapin lets you take control of the game as early as move two.
This variation allows for logical piece development, early central control, and positions that are far easier to handle than the deeply theoretical Open Sicilian. Solid yet flexible, the Alapin is also surprisingly aggressive and gives you many practical chances to outplay your opponent.
