The Sicilian: Alapin, 2...d6 (B22) is a distinct Sicilian Defense variation, defined by the move d6. Historically played by Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer, this system highlights asymmetrical counter-attacking chances.
Strategic Context: Instead of the usual d5, the player opts for d6. It succeeds by sacrificing popularity for a higher scoring weapon. This move restricts the e5 square. However engines consider this ambitious, often preferring safer alternatives. The focus should be on rapid development.
Next Steps: The position remains fluid, requiring accurate calculation.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +1.08), with a high probability of a draw.
