The Sicilian: Closed, 2...Nc6 3.Bb5 (B23) is a notable Sicilian Defense variation, marked by the move Bb5. Traditionally favored by Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer, this system emphasizes asymmetrical counter-attacking chances.
Strategic Context: Instead of the standard Nge2, the player opts for Bb5. It succeeds by maintaining a solid objective evaluation while changing the character of the game. This move exerts pressure on the e8-h5 diagonal. Plans should focus on how to control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure and develop rapidly.
Next Steps: From here, play often proceeds with Nd4, leading into the Sicilian.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: +0.42), with a high probability of a draw.
