The Sicilian: 2...Nc6 3.Nc3 (B30) 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 (Bb5), 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. 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 e5 or g6, leading into the Sicilian.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest Black chances (Eval: -0.52), with decisive results likely.
