After 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.Nf3 Nf64.Bb5 Qc7 5.O-O Nd4 6.d3!?
The game Rublevsky-Alekseev, Moscow 2006 from the Russian Superfinal (going on now) offers an excellent illustration of White's latent attacking possibilities in some of the Rossolimo-type positions that can arise from the Two Knights Sicilian. In some ways, the positions resemble those that can emerge from Sutovsky's Anti-Rubinstein line in the Spanish Four Knights, demonstrating the kinship that makes both part of the Knightmare Repertoire.
Rublevsky-AlekseevWhite to play.

Looks like Black should try to keep the center closed with his King in the middle on concentrate on getting a some heavy pieces to attack g2.
White probably ought to try to open the center as quickly as possible to expose the Black king.
Queenside castling for black looks dangerous.
