The Sicilian Defense is a very combative opening for the black pieces and incredibly theoretical, making it difficult to outprepare opponents with the white pieces. However, this offbeat 2.a3 line of the Sicilian Defense (otherwise known as the delayed wing gambit) is a pet favourite of mine to counter Sicilian players, this is meant to gambit a pawn after 2.e6 or 2.Nc6 from black but you can't always get what you want and if black doesn't give you the option to gambit then there is still lots of fun to be had in the position as shown in this video and many others on my channel (playlist for games in the a3 sicilian linked below if you're interested). 
I hope you find this video enjoyable / educational :)
