The Sicilian: 2...e6 3.Nc3 (B40) is a distinct Sicilian Defense variation, defined by the move Nc3. Historically played by Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer, this system highlights asymmetrical counter-attacking chances.
Strategic Context: Departing from the popular Sicilian Defense (b3), this line chooses Nc3. It succeeds by maintaining a similar objective evaluation while altering the flavor of the game. This move directly controls e4 and d5. However engines consider this ambitious, often preferring safer alternatives. Plans should focus on how to control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure and develop rapidly.
Next Steps: From here, play typically proceeds with Nc6, leading into the Sicilian.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +0.86), with decisive results likely.
