Larsen' Sicilian Center Counter	minstrale	03/01/04
Hi Chessmaster, I' currently playing the Sicilian defense as black in a long-distance chess match and my opponent sprung a move I' never seen. 1. e4 c5 2. d4 cxd4 4. f4. After a bit of searching I see this is the opening sequence to Larsen' Sicilian Center Counter but that' as much as I can find. And I don' see it listed anywhere in MCO. Any idea what comes next? Thank you kindly, Minstrale
Clarification/Follow-up by minstrale on 03/03/04 7:17 am: Turns out it's not Larson, but something called the Halasz Gambit. Any info on this, games I can play through, etc.? Thanks.
