Скачать или смотреть Why is The Sicilian Defense So Popular

In this video, Grand Master Marian Petrov from CHESS KLUB dives deep into Why the Sicilian Defense is so popular.

Sicilian Defense is the most popular opening from Black as it gives Black a comfortable position to defend the King’s territory while providing scope to counter-attack the opponent. It is the most popular and best-scoring response to White’s e4 according to multiple computer analysis programs.

The opening also creates a position that denies White the advantage that it usually gains as it starts the match.

Black stakes a claim to the center through this opening wherein if White were to eventually play d4 to gain central control, the c file pawn would get exchanged with the d file pawn, giving Black a greater central control overall.
