Langrock, The Modern Morra Gambit

A Dynamic Weapon Versus The Dreaded Sicilian!
Attack the Sicilian Defense aggressively with the Morra Gambit. Starting with 1 e4 c5 2 d4 cxd4 3 c3, it is well suited for players striving for tactical and uncompromising play, as White's better development often leads to a dangerous initiative. Furthermore, traditional Sicilian players may be taken by surprise and removed from their main-line repertoire.
If you take the time to study the Morra Gambit, you will achieve excellent practical results. The positions that arise are extremely difficult to play, especially if the defender is not familiar with them. One mistake by Black frequently means the end of the game.
