This was an excellent example about how to attack the castled King. My opponent, eeke, played the e4 opening, I played my trusty Sicilian.
1. e4
Standard.

 
1... c5
Sicilian. Loving it!

 
2. Nf3
Possibly could play the Open Variation.

 
2... d6
My usually response.

 
3. d4
Open Variation.

 
3... cxd4
I, of course, take!

 
4. Nxd4
He could have played Qxd4 and possibly turn into the Maroczy Bind!

 
4... Nf6
Attacking his e4 pawn. Duh, what else?

Guarding.

 
5... a6
The Najdorf. My favorite.

I believe this is the English?

English. A very deadly attack against the Najdorf. I usually lose against it :(

 
7... Be7
I tried this.

Standard plan: Castle long (0-0-0) and attack my king :(

Bringing my queen to a central square.
