It is no secret that Sicilian Defense is the single strongest response against 1.e4.
In fact, Sicilian is so strong, that many players switched to 1.d4 altogether.
If you are looking for an opening to combat 1.e4, and looking for more than just equality… the choice is clear.
However, playing mainstream the Sicilians has its cons.
