After analyze the 45 elite rapid games played the last week in Poland i finded 4 very interesting opening ideas to surprise with white and try to take advantaje early.

Pawn Sacrifice vs Kan Sicilian

5.Be2 and 7.f4! leaving the main lines, added to a great attack in the kingside gived Caruana a completely winning position

Qf3 vs Pelikan Sicilian

The key move of this idea is first c4 instead of c3 and 14.Qf3 against all the black main responses (0-0, Rb8 or a5)

Pawn Sacrifice vs Ragozin

After many sidemoves Firouzja managed to take Gukesh out of prep but in the move 11 my recomendation is cxd5 instead of Ng5 played by Firouzja
