Message:
1.e4 c5 2.Af3 e6 are the first two moves of any game.

If you mean with A the Q: well.....Gameknot database says the most common move after that Sicilian is Bc4, but my suggestion is to develop every piece quickly, so you can play not only Bc4, but even Nc3.
But the question is: why Qf3?

Senate Designates ‘Chess Day’ Before Heading Home — Passing a hard-fought deal to increase the country’s borrowing limit and reduce the budget deficit wasn’t all that the Senate did before recessing on Tuesday — at least for chess players. Overshadowed by the resolution of the fierce congressional debt-ceiling showdown was the Senate’s adoption of a resolution Tuesday designating Oct. 8, 2011 as “National Chess Day.” Introduced by Sen. John Rockefeller (D., W.Va.), the resolution recognizes the game as a “powerful cognitive learning tool” and “encourages the people of the U.S. to observe “National Chess Day” with appropriate programs and activities.” It noted that “many studies have linked chess programs to the improvement of ...

Play against this like you would any open Sicilian.
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4
Moves like 3. Bc4 can be ok, but why would you move that bishop there now? Black just closed off that diagonal, so the bishop is basically useless there.
Or, if you normally play closed Sicilians, play that here too. 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. Nc3 and so on.
I would suggest checking out any database of games between top players. This move isn't unheard of and there are many paths that can be taken after the first several moves.

Chess: Knight moves — The finely tuned positional antennae of Ulf Andersson sense a problem requiring a harmonious solution. More from the master of positional play, Ulf Andersson. How did he manage to improve his position? RB: Last week I went for an exchange sacrifice in the game Andersson-Tempone. It wasn't the continuation that Andersson chose, which should perhaps be enough to warn me against the move I am thinking of here – 1…Rd4. If White accepts the offer, 2 Bxd4 then 2…exd4 and the knight, which is pinned to the queen, is lost. But, of course, it's not going to be that simple. White can refuse to play ball and instead go ...

Play online chess | 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6
Message:
These games end to be rather different from more common sicilain openings
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 or 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6. Best bet is to use the database and learn the opening lines that way if your not sure what to do, but 3. d4 is certainly the best third move.

Rise of computers has lifted game — Bobby Fischer was rarely wrong about chess matters. But in one critical issue, he erred grievously: Late in life, he concluded that chess was played out. Most of the important possibilities in the opening phase had been explored and understood, he thought, and grandmasters’ reliance on computers had taken the creativity out of the game. But it seems that the opposite is true. A complete database of chess games now would be in the millions, not in the tens or hundreds of thousands as in Fischer’s time. And that volume continues to grow as an increasing number of strong chess players, playing an ever larger number of games, dominates chess. Not surprisingly, chess players’ repertoires have ...

Armenia Takes Team Title; Chinese Player Is Top Scorer — The Chess Olympiad, which was first held in 1924, is the most elite national team event in the chess world. But the World Team Chess Championship is in some ways more competitive because it includes only 10 squads, so there are no easy matches. This year, Armenia, the No. 4 seed, was the runaway winner at the chess event, which ended on Tuesday in Ningbo, China. It was hardly an upset; the Armenians, behind Levon Aronian, have won two of the last three Chess Olympiads, which are held every two years. China, the No. 6 seed, finished second, and Ukraine lived up to its seeding by winning the bronze medal. Russia, which was the top seed and had won the last two Team Chess Championships, finished ...

Play online chess | One very interesting line
Message:
for WT to venture is after 3.d4 cd 4.Nd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Bb4!? 5.e5!? and then Black usually responds with 5...Ne4 or 5...Nd5 after which 6.Qg4 makes a very interesting tactical game.
Or WT can play more conventionally vs the Bb4 with something like 5.Bd3 . Personally I don't "Like" to allow pawn doubling by ....BxNc3+ which can follow that, but objectively it seems alright since WT will have the Bishop pair and activity, plus the absence of BL's Kings Bishop to compensate him for the doubling. Not something I'd swear to, having not played it in a serious game, but gotten good play in skittles or blitz. Often a bit drawish in mine. (Of course the 5.e5 line seems not drawish at all ! :)

Armenia replaces England as nation that punches above its weight — In the 1980s and 1990s England punched above their weight in world chess events. Silver medals in the Chess Olympiads of 1984, 1986 and 1988 and bronze at the 1985 and 1989 world teams were followed by gold at the 1997 Euroteams. After that the England chess team aged or retired, while competition increased with the break-up of the Soviet Union. There have been hopes in the past two years that a new England chess group could become international contenders, as Luke McShane, David Howell and Gawain Jones became strong chess grandmasters to support the established stars Michael Adams and Nigel Short. But recently McShane has reverted to a full-time job and is not competing in ...

Play online chess | my ideas?
Message:
After 3. cxd4 4. Nxd4 two regular fourth moves for black are 4. a6 or 4. Nf6. So what should you do after each of these???
4. a6. This variation immediately controls the b5 square (preventing Nb5 for white, a good move in some variations) and prepare a future advance of b5, which allows black to develop their white squared bishop at b7 and/or put pressure on whites kingside with b4. So although 4. a6 looks passive, it’s pretty good in the long run. White’s best responses are 5. Nc3 or 5. Bd3. After 5. Nc3 black would like to play Nf6 but it’s not very good because 6. e5 Nd5 7. Nxd5 damages blacks pawn structure. So black will play a move that prevents 6. e5, the best of which is Qc7 (on c7 the queen can help blacks plan to put pressure on the queenside) and then they can play 6. Nf6. If black does this white’s best sixth move is Bd3, which guards the e pawn against pressure posed by blacks potential b5 and Bb7.
If white chooses to play 5. Bd3 instead of 5. Nc3, this immediately protects the e pawn against the threats discussed above, and with no knight to threaten on c3 the value of a black pawn push of b5 and b4 is reduced. So 5. Bd3 may be slightly better than 5. Nc3.
4. Nf6. Clearly 5. Nc3 is best here to protect the e pawn. Black may then play 5.Nc6, then 6. Ndb5 takes the game out of 2. e6 waters and into 2. Nc6 waters. Since you’ve little experience against 2. e6, this transformation into a different sort of Sicilian game will probably be useful for you.
Black may also play 5. d6, when 6. Be3 is a solid developing move, or 6. e4 immediately aims to attack blacks kingside, where he’ll likely castle later. It’s good to play both these moves at some point, and either one is sound to play first on move 6.
I’d love to write more, but this article’s already too long, so I have to stop…
