Coles Sicilian 1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 3.Qxd4 Nc6 4.Qd1 Nf6 5.Bc4!!
I was going through an old issue of Chessville and noticed an Opening thats never been used since played against Aleister
Crowely by a man named Coles. Game 3 It doesn't give Coles first name. Article here
Thier is even a gambit with this opening I gather from the article that either Crowely recommends after 5... Qa5+. White
play 6. Bd2 (This might have slay the beast) White actually played 6.c3 see game 3 which is inadequate and so is 6.Kf1
So lets call it for the sake of fairness the Coles Sicilian Crowley Gambit See 1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 3.Qxd4 Nc6 4.Qd1 Nf6
5.Bc4 Qa5+ 6.Bd2 black can win a pawn but loses too much for it. Game 2
But the Coles Sicilian has an even better move for black
Israel Silverman writes: "Ok, I'll bite. What is wrong with just 5... Nxe4?"
Tim Sawyer writes: "The White Bishop and the e-pawn are more important than the f-pawn
and getting the Black King to move off the back rank. 5.Bc4 seems weaker than simply 5.Nc3, but in that position why does
White want the Knight on g1 instead of d4? The main lines of the Open Sicilian 2.Nf3, 3.d4, 4.Nxd4 are much better for White
than Coles Sicilian Gambit. Coles seems like a waste of two tempi to me. Surely there must be some way to waste only one tempo?!
On the other hand, I used to play 1.c4 d5 2.cxd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qd8 as Black. It may hold, but it is far too passive. Unorthodox
is good, but passive is very bad."
5...Nxe4 is a great move! You should not be afraid of the temporary Bishop sac at f7 Reasoning the mobile center and two
bishops should more than make up for the displaced King . 1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 3.Qxd4 Nc6 4.Qd1 Nf6 5.Bc4 Nxe4 6.Bxf7+ Kxf7 7.Qh5+
!!
7.Qh5 is the move that gets equality. (Blacks king can't come out to save the Knight.
)
White wants Black to weaken his center by moving 7...g3 or jam himself into the king side as in Game
1 Chess master preferred to self Jam and see what happened to it.
You may ask Who was Aleister Crowley?
Aleister Crowley (October 12, 1875-December 1, 1947) Above all was a writer some say W.B. Yeats was
jealous of his superior poetic skills.
Science fiction writer L Ron Hubbard admired Crowleys ability to start his own religion. ( I wonder
why).
Crowley mom use to refer to him as the Beast 666. I guess this type of positive reinforcement must
have helped.
Anyway I think chess was his strongest attribute but other refer to him as an occultist, poet, astrologer,
sexual revolutionary, painter, mountain climber and social critic.

someone trys to tell you this is not an Unorthodox Opening.
