looks like he's going for the non-fianchetto response where Black plays normal Sicilian-type moves.

Now I really want to get my Q into the fray at either g3 or h4, but can I abandon my B? It's not participating in the attack anyway. But I can't find a definitive, concrete sequence of moves to end the game, so I decide not to let it go. But is there a way I can get it into the attack?

The f6 square is crucial in my attack. Maybe I can deflect his B off of it. [21.Qg3
