The Sicilian: Taimanov, 5.c4 (B44) is a notable Sicilian Defense variation, marked by the move c4. Traditionally favored by Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer, this system emphasizes asymmetrical counter-attacking chances.
Strategic Context: Instead of the standard Nb5, the player opts for c4. It succeeds by sacrificing popularity for a statistically stronger weapon. This move exerts pressure on 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: From here, play often proceeds with Nf6, leading into the Sicilian.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +0.93), with a high probability of a draw.
