Position in Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN)
Moves: 1. e4 c5 2. d4 cxd4 3. Nf3
Parent: Smith–Morra Gambit

This aims to transpose into normal lines. After Nxd4, a normal open Sicilian will be reached. If Black tries to prevent this with 3...e5, White will reach a good Smith–Morra with 4. c3. Therefore, Black does best to allow Nxd4.
