Opening Overview: Van Geet: Sicilian Variation, 2.Nf3

The Van Geet: Sicilian Variation, 2.Nf3 (A00) is a notable Van Geet variation, marked by the move Nf3. Traditionally favored by Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer, this system emphasizes asymmetrical counter-attacking chances.

Strategic Context: Deviating from the common Van Geet Opening (b4), this line chooses Nf3. It succeeds by maintaining a solid objective evaluation while changing the character of the game. This move exerts pressure on e5 and d4. Plans should focus on how to emphasize piece activity and king safety as lines open rapidly and control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure..

Next Steps: From here, play often proceeds with Nc6, leading into the Van Geet.

Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: -0.39), with a high probability of a draw.
