Smith Morra Gambit by Albert Hoogendoorn, Webmaster of MyChessSite The rest of the series! Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 1 - 12-19-02 The biggest opening challenge to 1. e4 players is what to do against the Sicilian Defence 1. ... c5.

I have tried 2. c3 and 2. g3 and the Halasz Gambit (1. e4 c5, 2. d4 cxd4 3. f4 ...) as recommended in Eric Schillers book Gambit Opening Repertoire for White. I must admit: no good results! I didn't know what to do. Should I study the Sicilian
Defence with all the different systems? Finally I opened
Google.com and searched
for "system against the Sicilian defence". Since that moment, now almost three years ago, the Smith Morra Gambit is my favorite Sicilian Beating System! You want advantages? Here they are... The Texan Ken Smith writes: "This gambit 1 e4, c5 2 d4, cxd
