Message:
1.e4 c5 2.Af3 e6 are the first two moves of any game.

If you mean with A the Q: well.....Gameknot database says the most common move after that Sicilian is Bc4, but my suggestion is to develop every piece quickly, so you can play not only Bc4, but even Nc3.
But the question is: why Qf3?

Luke McShane tangles with The Spider at summit of British chess — Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky, then Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov, have been famous enduring rivalries at the summit of world chess, and the English game acquired its own version when Michael Adams and Nigel Short contested the UK No1 spot for most of the 1990s. Short was ahead when he challenged for Kasparov's world title in 1993, then later Adams narrowly beat Short in the 1997 world semi-final. The pair remained England's two best chess grandmasters for a further decade, with Adams ranked higher, though most of their individual meetings were drawn. Now Short is a chess veteran at 45 and Luke McShane is the new contender. Adams is rated around 2720, world ...

Play against this like you would any open Sicilian.
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4
Moves like 3. Bc4 can be ok, but why would you move that bishop there now? Black just closed off that diagonal, so the bishop is basically useless there.
Or, if you normally play closed Sicilians, play that here too. 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. Nc3 and so on.
I would suggest checking out any database of games between top players. This move isn't unheard of and there are many paths that can be taken after the first several moves.

Chess History: From Bobby Fischer to Hikaru Nakamura — The 2011 U.S. Chess Championship begins today at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis, Mo., with 16 players, including the defending chess champion Gata Kamsky, the 1996 world chess championship challenger. The top-rated American Hikaru Nakamura, the 2004 and 2009 U.S. champion, declined to participate. There is no $64,000 Bobby Fischer Memorial prize this year for winning all the games. It was offered in 2009 to commemorate Fischer's amazing performance at the 1963/64 U.S. championship. Winning all 11 games, Fischer finished 3½ points ahead his nearest rival, Larry Evans. Other stalwarts of American chess such as Sammy Reshevsky, Robert and ...

Play online chess | 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6
Message:
These games end to be rather different from more common sicilain openings
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 or 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6. Best bet is to use the database and learn the opening lines that way if your not sure what to do, but 3. d4 is certainly the best third move.

Chinese Chess Phenom, After a Stumble, Roars Back — As China has climbed the ranks of the world’s chess powers (reaching No. 3 in the latest rankings), several of its players have also risen among the world’s elite. Currently, Wang Yue is No. 14 and Wang Hao is No. 20. Bu Xiangzhi, No. 63, was No. 26 as recently as October 2008. Those three and a few others have represented China in international chess competitions, but surprisingly, at home, they have been upstaged by a relatively little-known player named Ding Liren. Two years ago, Ding, then an untitled 16-year-old, was the stunning winner of the Chinese chess championship, though he was among the lowest-ranked participants. The feat earned him the grandmaster title. Last year, he ...

Chess: Menace of the counter gambit — In this further exploration of the King's Gambit, we look at the nightmare possibilities of the Falkbeer. So far in our survey of the King's Gambit we have only considered the acceptance of the pawn offer, but a counter gambit is one of the most dangerous lines that White can face – 1 e4 e5 2 f4 d5 - the Falkbeer. RB: I know a little of the theory of the Falkbeer, although I have very little over-the-board experience with it. But it doesn't take regular play, or great chess intuition, to alert you to the horror of what happens if you make the wrong pawn capture here. Just consider the nightmare that is 3 fxe5 Qh4+. It's a real beginner's blunder and White can just resign. Correct, I believe ...

Play online chess | One very interesting line
Message:
for WT to venture is after 3.d4 cd 4.Nd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Bb4!? 5.e5!? and then Black usually responds with 5...Ne4 or 5...Nd5 after which 6.Qg4 makes a very interesting tactical game.
Or WT can play more conventionally vs the Bb4 with something like 5.Bd3 . Personally I don't "Like" to allow pawn doubling by ....BxNc3+ which can follow that, but objectively it seems alright since WT will have the Bishop pair and activity, plus the absence of BL's Kings Bishop to compensate him for the doubling. Not something I'd swear to, having not played it in a serious game, but gotten good play in skittles or blitz. Often a bit drawish in mine. (Of course the 5.e5 line seems not drawish at all ! :)

Chess: European Individual Championship Ends in Controversy — The European Individual Chess Championship has become a magnet for top chess players, with more than 160 grandmasters participating in this year’s competition. The players were drawn by the prize money (about $172,000) and by the chance to earn one of 23 spots in the World Cup, which, in turn, is part of the cycle to select the world chess champion. Given the depth of the field, any result was possible. That was true last year when Ian Nepomniachtchi, who was ranked No. 78 in the world at the start of the tournament, was the winner. (Nepomniachtchi has since risen to No. 18.) This year, four players tied for first, and the Russian grandmaster Vladimir Potkin was declared the winner in ...

Play online chess | my ideas?
Message:
After 3. cxd4 4. Nxd4 two regular fourth moves for black are 4. a6 or 4. Nf6. So what should you do after each of these???
4. a6. This variation immediately controls the b5 square (preventing Nb5 for white, a good move in some variations) and prepare a future advance of b5, which allows black to develop their white squared bishop at b7 and/or put pressure on whites kingside with b4. So although 4. a6 looks passive, it’s pretty good in the long run. White’s best responses are 5. Nc3 or 5. Bd3. After 5. Nc3 black would like to play Nf6 but it’s not very good because 6. e5 Nd5 7. Nxd5 damages blacks pawn structure. So black will play a move that prevents 6. e5, the best of which is Qc7 (on c7 the queen can help blacks plan to put pressure on the queenside) and then they can play 6. Nf6. If black does this white’s best sixth move is Bd3, which guards the e pawn against pressure posed by blacks potential b5 and Bb7.
If white chooses to play 5. Bd3 instead of 5. Nc3, this immediately protects the e pawn against the threats discussed above, and with no knight to threaten on c3 the value of a black pawn push of b5 and b4 is reduced. So 5. Bd3 may be slightly better than 5. Nc3.
4. Nf6. Clearly 5. Nc3 is best here to protect the e pawn. Black may then play 5.Nc6, then 6. Ndb5 takes the game out of 2. e6 waters and into 2. Nc6 waters. Since you’ve little experience against 2. e6, this transformation into a different sort of Sicilian game will probably be useful for you.
Black may also play 5. d6, when 6. Be3 is a solid developing move, or 6. e4 immediately aims to attack blacks kingside, where he’ll likely castle later. It’s good to play both these moves at some point, and either one is sound to play first on move 6.
I’d love to write more, but this article’s already too long, so I have to stop…
