Opening Overview: Sicilian: Grand Prix, 2...d6

The Sicilian: Grand Prix, 2...d6 (B21) is a distinct Sicilian Defense variation, defined by the move d6. Historically played by Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer, this system highlights asymmetrical counter-attacking chances.

Strategic Context: Instead of the usual e6, the player opts for d6. It succeeds by sacrificing popularity for a higher scoring weapon. This move restricts the e5 square. Plans should focus on how to prioritize maneuvering and flank attacks and develop rapidly.

Next Steps: The strategic battle ahead will be defined by the struggle to focus on maneuvering and wing expansion.

Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: +0.28), with decisive results likely.
