is this a version of the sicilian? whatever it is i handled it

hmm looks like i messed up somehow...you just have to click the way back button sorrrrry :)

No, this is a weird variation of the English Opening.

i couldn't understand many moves, though some were smart , can you explain me

for once why didnt he capture your pawn on the 21sst move?

i wish i could :) lol

This started as the English, then transposed into Queens gambit which ricg_84 also abandoned with unsound, out-of-book moves.

Sure its an english, but an english is a reverse sicilian, so you're partially right. you handled it pretty well.

thanks for clearing that up nimzo :)
