The Sicilian Defense: Keres Variation (B20) is a notable Sicilian Defense variation, marked by the move Ne2. Traditionally favored by Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer, this system emphasizes asymmetrical counter-attacking chances.
Strategic Context: Instead of the standard Qg4, the player opts for Ne2. It succeeds by maintaining a solid objective evaluation while changing the character of the game. This move improves the Knight's scope. Plans should focus on how to control the long diagonal to exert lasting 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 equality (Eval: +0.29), with a high probability of a draw.
