I could have one the d-pawn and probably the game with 11 ...Bxc2! instead of a5.

I don't like the Sicilian Defence anymore, there's too much theory in it.  This is one of my first games on FICS playing Alekhine's Defence. 

With white, I'm playing the Smith-Morra to avoid mainline Sicilian openings.
