The Sicilian Defense: Old Sicilian (B30) is a distinct Sicilian Defense variation, defined by the move Nc6. Historically played by Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer, this system highlights asymmetrical counter-attacking chances.
Strategic Context: Diverging from the common Sicilian Defense (f5), this line chooses Nc6. It succeeds by maintaining a similar objective evaluation while altering the flavor of the game. This move directly controls e5 and d4. Plans should focus on how to control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure and develop rapidly.
Next Steps: In the resulting middlegame, players must focus on how to control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +0.56), with decisive results likely.
