UnfortunatelyChesslectures seems to have closed his account at YouTube. Het focused on the Polgar line which, instead of Rhe1, chose Qd3. He had like 13 great videos on there that I'd really like to be able to get my hand on. If you, or anyone, can get him to get those gr8 videos back on YT again that;d be gr8.

You mentioned Peter Tamburro Lectures and it is worth pointing out that Peter recommend this line in his book Openings for Amateurs. He devotes 13 pages of discussion to the opening. Ten of them are devoted to the opening with 4 model games that are annotated and 3 games that are not. The introductory discussion gives an explanation of why he is recommending the 4 anti-sicilians systems for amateurs. It's interesting to point out that this variation is the first of the four. Players like Mikhail Tal, and Judith Polgar used the opening to defeat Robert Byrne and Shirov so it isn't like great players avoid it.

His other recommendations include the Rossolimo, the closed, and the c3 sicilian. If you have the book check it out. He calls it the hungarian variation and refers to the chekhover also.
