Great stuff! I've been studying the Four Knight Sicilian with IM SIelecki's "My First Opening Repertoire for Black" course on chessable, so apparently, he also thought it was good for beginners 🙂 I really enjoy it for all the qualities you point out: You don't have to remember all the much (knights on natural squares, pin the knight on c3, and push d5 at the right time), e6 avoids a lot of attacking f7 nonsense from white, and there are some Qa5+ tricks that can get you an early lead. Also if they don't play into the open sicilian, which they often don't at the beginner level,, the setup is principled and still works well for lots of other responses.

You might like LiChess Tools, the browser extension I am developing. Not only does it show the eval for Explorer rows (taken from a very deep and large chess db), but also shows which of them lead to gambits and you can create Snaps of Explorer settings and just cycle them by clicking the lichess Explorer tab. And a lot other stuff, too :)

The opponent you lost to was almost certainly cheating. I've been experimenting with the Nimzo-Sicilian at the 1900 level, and in over 70 games playing it to date, I've played the double pawn sacrifice line exactly once, against someone who was later banned for cheating! The odds of an 1100 even knowing that line, let alone subsequently outplaying an FM are so miniscule that I'm shocked they haven't been already banned!

@vitahastАй бұрын
these gambits can be very double edged. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gZ9rw9armda8l9I.html if you don't play accurately then you just end up in a worse position down some pawns. this g5 and Bf4 idea is hard to spot. because you look at g5 and after they move the queen and the bishop is still defended you kind of stop calculating.
