One can usually guess that an opponent who plays 2...Nc6 is hoping to enter one of the main Open Sicilian systems such as the Taimanov, Sveshnikov,Accelerated Dragon or Classical Variation. A good way to curtail a lot of the original to play 3.Cb5 and enter the Rossolimo Variation. The opening is named after the grandmaster Nicolas Rossolimo (1910-75) who represented both France and the USA at Olympiads. Black can respond to 3.Cb5 with various systems beginning with 3...e6, 3...g6 and 3...f6.
