O'Kelly Sicilian surprising and playable

- Sicilian O'Kelly variation appears to be a very nice playable line for Black, which can be not only "a surprising weapon", but also something you can play on regular basis. There are 285 novelties/improvements in my file! In my opinion it fits a wide range of players starting from ambitious 1600 players and all the way to titled one's.

Hi Grandmaster Boris Avrukh I had one question before purchasing this database:- 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 a6 3.c3 d5 4.exd5 Qxd5 5.d4 e6 here in this position what if white plays 6.Na3? Thank You.
Not covered in the file since 6.Na3 is very rare. However, it's actually makes a6-move (preventing Nb5 jump) very useful . After let's say 6...Nf6 7.Nc4 Nbd7 we transpose to very theoretical line where Black is doing great.
Negi mentioned that 3.b4 would give White an improved version of the Wing Gambit, although he didn’t finally recommend it in his e4 vs Sicilian 3 book. Does your file give a line against the WG? Thanks
What do you mean by 3.b4? , it's probably some typo :)
@@ask-avrukh1922i guess that’s a ‘no’ then!
I just don't see where White can play 3.b4in my file @@PLMLGS
@@ask-avrukh1922 In the line 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3, a6 Negi mentions 3.b4!?. It’s not like him to suggest such a move as an option [in the end his preferred choice vs the O’Kelly was ultimately 3.c3] so i thought this was interesting. He reckoned 3.b4 could be a ‘better’ version of the standard 1.e4, c5 2.b4?! Wing gambit as the move …a6 is not often played vs the Wing Gambit.
Ah, I felt it's not related to QGA :). Very interesting and indeed not covered in my O'Kelly file. Black shouldn't have problems with a little work.
