The Sicilian: Rossolimo, 3...e6 4.O-O Nge7 5.Nc3 (B30) is a notable Sicilian Defense variation, marked by the move Nc3. Traditionally favored by Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer, this system emphasizes asymmetrical counter-attacking chances.
Strategic Context: Departing from the popular Sicilian (b3), this line chooses Nc3. It succeeds by sacrificing popularity for a statistically stronger weapon. This move exerts pressure on e4 and d5. Note that engines consider this speculative, often preferring safer alternatives. Plans should focus on how to control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure and develop rapidly.
Next Steps: The strategic battle ahead will be defined by the struggle to control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +1.07), with a high probability of a draw.
