The Sicilian: Moscow 3...Nd7 4.c3 (B51) is a distinct Sicilian Defense variation, defined by the move c3. Historically played by Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer, this system highlights asymmetrical counter-attacking chances.
Strategic Context: Departing from the popular Sicilian (d4), this line chooses c3. It succeeds by sacrificing popularity for a higher scoring weapon. This move grabs space. Plans should focus on how to control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure and develop rapidly.
Next Steps: As the position develops, the priority becomes to control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +0.84), with a high probability of a draw.
