Hello and welcome to this course on the Alapin Variation against the Sicilian Defense! My name is Dalton Perrine and I'm a FIDE Master who has been a full-time chess coach, player, and content creator for over 12 years.

I'll dive more into the specifics shortly.
Ok, let's get started with pawn to e4!
Play pawn to e4.
