Subject: The "always lost for black" Sicilian

Over the last month or so I've added mobility & control of space to Zappa.  I
think it plays a lot better with it, although it does slow down the search
considerably.

The problem is that Zappa hates black.  Especially the sicilian.  Its not too
unusual for Zappa to come out of book on move 8-9 in the sicilian and think its
down almost a pawn.

So the question for all you sicilian experts is: In the sicilian defense black
gives white control of the center and lots of mobility for all of his pieces.
What does black get?
