Opening Overview: Sicilian Defense: Lasker-Dunne Attack

The Sicilian Defense: Lasker-Dunne Attack (B20) is a distinct Sicilian Defense variation, defined by the move g3. Historically played by Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer, this system highlights asymmetrical counter-attacking chances.

Strategic Context: Instead of the usual Qg4, the player opts for g3. It succeeds by sacrificing popularity for a higher scoring weapon. This move strengthens the long diagonal control. The focus should be on rapid development.

Next Steps: From here, play typically proceeds with g6, leading into the Sicilian.

Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +0.95), with a high probability of a draw.
