can anyone recommend any good online databases...?

i've found chesslive.de, but to my astonishment, it appears there are no sicilian games there, despite it's claim to have 2.4 million games on it... very strange...

Try with google or yahoo search engine. However on chesslive.de you have tons of sicilian games but you need to input few more moves, not just 1. e4 c5! I think its working after 4. th move.

Chess news:

A Naiditsch in time... -- Vladimir Kramnik will have mixed feelings about his crushing defeat at the hands of Arkady Naiditsch in the third round of the Sparkassen chess tournament at Dortmund. Although he hardly ever loses in this, his favourite chess event, if he is going to have one of his main lines of defence to 1.e4 refuted then at least it has happened before his world title match against Vishy Anand and not during it. This was a fine piece of home analysis by Naiditsch who found a clever new wrinkle on move 19 in what was a known rook sacrifice. Kramnik will be disappointed not to have found the best defence but the practical problems the defender faces when confronted with a new idea in ...

Pawns get racing -- Ian Nepomniachtchi who qualified for the Sparkassen chess tournament at Dortmund by winning the Aeroflot Open in Moscow joined the leaders after a comfortable win over Loek Van Wely of Holland in round four. The Dutchman played sharply and sacrificed rook for bishop and pawn but then immediately blundered – see below - and was in a lost endgame before he could think of making a fight of the game.

Vladimir Kramnik’s chances of scoring a morale-boosting chess tournament victory in his last outing before the WCC match in the autumn receded further when ...

Barden on chess -- The annual elite chess event at Dortmund is Vladimir Kramnik's patch. The former world chess champion has won or shared first there eight times, including the last two editions. Dortmund 2008, which finishes tomorrow, is his penultimate outing before the title series against India's Vishy Anand in October. Kramnik's tournament strategy was to win with White, not lose with Black; so this week, in the bottom half of the draw with four blacks, he was set on scoring a full point with the first of his three whites. The Dutch No1, Loek van Wely, made it interesting by opting for the Slav Defence 2...c6, which is expected to be Anand's mainstay in the chess match. Kramnik naturally wanted to ...
