The Van Geet: Sicilian Variation (A00) is a notable Van Geet variation, marked by the move c5. Traditionally favored by Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer, this system emphasizes asymmetrical counter-attacking chances.
Strategic Context: While b5 is the main choice, c5 offers a different perspective. It succeeds by maintaining a solid objective evaluation while changing the character of the game. This move creates immediate imbalance. 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: The strategic battle ahead will be defined by the struggle to emphasize piece activity and king safety as lines open rapidly.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: +0.27), with a high probability of a draw.
