Smith-Morra Gambit
1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 3.c3 — sacrifice a pawn for a crushing lead in development. The Morra is the fastest, sharpest way to beat the Sicilian without memorizing 30 moves of theory.
Stop fearing the Sicilian. The Smith-Morra Gambit gives you a clear plan in every line: Nxc3, Nf3, Bc4, Qe2, Rd1, Rac1, then strike with Nd5 or e5. 7 drills × 15 White moves cover the main accepted lines (Nc6, e6, a6, g6, Nf6) plus both ways to decline (3...d3 and 3...Nf6) — followed by 30 puzzles drilling the Morra's signature attacking patterns.
