A Complete Guide to Grivas Sicilian

.


In the book "A Complete Guide to Grivas Sicilian (2005)," the author Efstratios Grivas, after:

[ECO B33b] 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Qb6 5.Nb3 Nf6 6.Nc3 e6 7.a3 Qc7



only examines the variations that arises after:

A) 8.Be3 (and Be2)
B) 8.Be3 (and Bd3)
C) 8.Bd3 (and Bd2)

But "Robbolito g3" suggest instead this line:

8.f4 d5 (N, 8...d6) 9.e5 Nd7 10.Nb5 Qd8 11.Be3 a6 12. N5d4 Be7
(with score: + 0.24)



which seems interesting and need further investigation.
