Lead or answer well

Every opening is a first move and an answer. So are many of the situations you meet every day.

On the board, White moves first and keeps a small edge, the initiative. Black chooses how to answer. Play solidly to level the game, then outplay; or unbalance it, as the Sicilian does here, and play for a win at more risk.
