Arasan doesn't have problems with the Sicilian generally, although there are some lines its book is tuned not to play (for example, it will not play the Accelerated Dragon as black). I think one thing that is particularly true for the Siciilan is that there are lines that are good against human players (because they give good practical attacking chances, and the opponent may make mistakes) but are bad against other computers (because they have more exact calculating skills and often, better "book" knowledge). Maybe the problem is that you're out of book by move 7-8. There are a huge number of Sicilian lines and "book" knowledge is important IMO. --Jon
