Interesting. So you're playing the Sicilian Defense. This is a very popular and aggressive defense. It works well against 1.e4, but it has some weaknesses. Do you understand these weaknesses?

I know that Black can be crushed if he makes a wrong move

Exactly! It's a double-edged opening, which means that while it offers opportunities for counterattack, it also risks leaving your king vulnerable to attack. Do you understand how to manage this risk?

Not really
