Sicilian Defence

Play as Black • Repeat until it's automatic

Smith-Morra Gambit

White sacrifices a pawn with 3.c3 to gain rapid development and open the c-file and d-file for the rooks. After 3...dxc3 4.Nxc3, White enjoys a lead in development and natural attacking squares for the bishops on c4 and f4. A practical, attacking weapon that puts unprepared Sicilian players under immediate pressure.
