Joined 21 Feb '12 Moves 6039 Are there any famous games where a3 was played to protect the pawn on b2 from capture by the black queen?
Position after a3.
Joined 19 Aug '12 Moves 4076 Which opening is that? a3 can be a Queen trap but in the Sicilian the pawn can be poisoned.
You can look at the Sicilian poisoned pawn games if you want to offer/take the poisoned pawn.
