My son just said yesterday "Defense wins chess games. Offense wins Championships" just to troll me as of course I taught him the opposite saying. Maybe the Eagles will bring him in for some coaching? Nice example!
I've got two games from yesterday's tournament. Both are as black with your Sicilian repertoire. Might be a chance to talk your book, so to speak. The first is also one where I blunder very badly with 20 seconds left on the clock, so to talk your other book about blitz being good for playing safe moves quickly.
I ended up pulling out the win, but there was plenty of room for improvement. In particular, I thought I mishandled the transition from the opening to the middlegame.

D first is old school, but the evidence seems to point towards O being more important in a lot of contexts.
