A6 pawn up a square in order to give rook access to fifth row??”
@Sasuke149 – The Sicilian Dragon can be rather easily slayed with the Yugoslav Attack. Over his career in top level chess, Bobby Fischer played against the Sicilian Dragon 11 times and using the Yugoslav Attack, won 10 of those games.
Look it up on 365Chess doot comm. I hope this has been of help. 
@knighttango – Because the Sicilian Defense is a very strong opening for black.
@soldier4242 – Which move is, “that move”, that looks pretty passive to you?
@orlandorjames – If you go to the web site USChess doot org, you will be looking at the United States Chess Federation web site and they have hundreds of books on chess that you can order, along with chess DVD’s, chess programs, chess equipment, etc. If you become a member of the USCF, then you can play in chess tournaments all across the country. It’s a lot of fun and you can earn money too! I hope this has been of help.
@ani19bd – The web site 365Chess doot comm will tell you.
@bassieeee7 – Arguably the greatest chess player of all time and a Sicilian Defense expert, Bobby Fischer, played the e5 move. Yes, it does create a backwards pawn, however it is not at all easy for white to attack that pawn and that e5 pawn causes white a lot of problems. Go over some Bobby Fischer games and you’ll see.
@kdjorkdjor – You’re a, “gm”….gay man?
@PurePower025 – There are a myriad of useful openings that can be chosen from.
@MikeStar21 – Solved? What is the question?
@spectrophotography – “KIA”…Killed In Action?
@apd09 – Moving the same piece twice in the opening is a cardinal sin and hands the initiative over to the opponent, wastes time and neglects development of the major pieces. A huge error. 365chess doot comm lists 2.e5 as only winning 21.6% of the time and black winning 54.1% of the time. It’s a very bad move. 2…Nc6 would be the next logical move in the Sicilian, putting white on the defensive immediately and wins 57.7% of the time vs white’s only 11.5%.
I hope this helps you out.
its not all about theory :O
thanks!
@apd09
2.e5 is a terrible move for white, as it prevents the pawn from being immediately defended by pieces other than the queen (which is poor play to bring out so early), and also does nothing to control the center other than occupying it. It is essentially a time wasting move that gains nothing. I recommend playing 2. e5 d5 against it. This gives black a firmer hold on the center, as well as opening a diagonal for the light squared bishop. The pawn on e5 can then be dealt with later.
@apd09 – 1.e4 c5 If your opponent plays 2.e5 then I recommend playing 2. d5 (I have had a lot of success in these continuations)
What about KIA against Sicilian?
