Greetings,
Is Chess really this simple? 1.e4 c5
2.d4 e6 (Played by Garry Kasparov) 3.Nf3 Qc7 (my
improvement over Kasparov--- I think
he played cxd4 here) 4.Nc3 a6 = If either side has an advantage
here, I'd prefer Black:

There is simply
no way that White can force Black to play cxd4 and if White
tries something like 5.a4, Black has 5...b6. The only try White
has, in my opinion, is d5 which looks dubious.
Obviously, if
Black can play this against the Smith-Morra, then he can
play this concept against most variations of the Sicilian. White
could try an early Bf4 but then Black has Qb6.
What looks very
bad for White is that Black is guaranteed a very active Queen
safely. White will not have comparable Queen activity. If we
give specific moves: 5.a4 b6 6.d5 d6 7.Be2 e5 and, again, White
has nothing.
