"The Sicilian Defence has a reputation for being the most dynamic defence to 1 e4 and ways of seizing the initiative for White are constantly being explored. The Morra Gambit, 1 e4 c5 2 d4 cd 3 c3, offers a pawm for lasting pressure and sets Black the problem of a difficult and long-term defence..This opening is known in the US as the Smith-Morra Gambit in recognition of the contribution by the Texan master Ken Smith, who popularised the variation."
