Opening Overview: Sicilian: Chameleon, 3...g6

The Sicilian: Chameleon, 3...g6 (B23) is a distinct Sicilian Defense variation, defined by the move g6. Historically played by Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer, this system highlights asymmetrical counter-attacking chances.

Strategic Context: Instead of the standard e5, the player opts for g6. It succeeds by accepting a riskier evaluation to avoid heavy theory. This move strengthens the long diagonal control. Plans should focus on how to control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure and develop rapidly.

Next Steps: Going forward, the critical task is to control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure.

Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest Black chances (Eval: -0.52), with decisive results likely.
