The Sicilian: Rossolimo, 3...g6 4.O-O (B31) is a notable Sicilian Defense variation, marked by the move O-O. Traditionally favored by Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer, this system emphasizes asymmetrical counter-attacking chances.
Strategic Context: While Bxc6 is the consensus choice, O-O offers a fresh perspective. It succeeds by accepting a slightly lower evaluation to surprise the opponent. This move connects the Rooks. Plans should focus on how to control the long diagonal to exert lasting 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 equality (Eval: +0.20), with a high probability of a draw.
