A Sicilian Game

Black to move in diagram.

Here is a game I recently played which contains some of the ideas I am now playing against the Sicilian. Cut and Paste game into viewer on my sidebar. The Silicide formula plays both Knights out as white and responding to blacks 4th move. I like playing this more that the Grand Prix or the Smith Morra Gambit.
